A fundamental condition for the proper functioning of the human body is the provision of essential mineral compounds. They should be included in the diet or taken as supplements, as the body is not able to synthesize them on its own. This group of compounds, referred to as exogenous, do not provide energy but play a crucial role in the processes occurring in the organism. One of these elements is zinc, which has a significant impact on the proper functioning of the body by participating in immunological processes as well as the regeneration and renewal of tissues.

Wpływ cynku na organizm ludzki i jego rola w procesach fizjologicznych

Cynk występuje w każdym tkance ludzkiego organizmu, znajdując się w największych ilościach w kościach, mięśniach i skórze, a także w odpowiednich ilościach w wątrobie, trzustce, śledzionie, nerkach i mózgu (M. Michalak i wsp. 2021). Jest on niezbędny do wielu procesów fizjologicznych, takich jak krzepnięcie krwi, metabolizm kwasów tłuszczowych i alkoholu, magazynowanie insuliny w trzustce oraz jej uwalnianie. Cynk bierze także udział w procesach regeneracji skóry, włosów i paznokci dzięki swojej roli w metabolizmie kolagenu. Jako antyoksydant chroni organizm przed szkodliwymi wolnymi rodnikami, wspomaga narząd wzroku, zmniejsza uszkodzenia skóry pod wpływem promieniowania UV i uczestniczy w procesach odpornościowych. Badania wykazały, że cynk może okazać się skuteczny w leczeniu wirusa opryszczki pospolitej (HSV), brodawczaka (HPV) i przeziębienia poprzez skracanie czasu trwania infekcji i objawów (H.R. Godfrey i wsp. 2001; A.S. Prasad i wsp. 2008; E.-E.M. Mohamed, K.M. Tawfik, A.M. Mahmoud 2016). Preparaty lecznicze i kosmetyczne zawierające cynk wykazują działanie ściągające, przeciwzapalne, przeciwtrądzikowe i oczyszczające skórę z nadmiaru sebum.
