{"title":"Zink","description":"\u003ch2\u003eZinc – The versatile all-rounder\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc is an essential trace element that is indispensable for the human body, industry and many other sectors. Whether in nutrition, medicine or the construction industry – zinc has a place in a wide variety of applications. In this article, you will learn everything you need to know about the properties, benefits and uses of zinc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is zinc?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc is a chemical element with the symbol Zn and atomic number 30. It belongs to the transition metals and has been used for centuries. Zinc is best known for its corrosion resistance and its versatility in processing. In nature, zinc is often found in combination with other metals and is extracted industrially from ore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe importance of zinc for the human body\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc performs numerous vital functions in the body. It supports the immune system, promotes wound healing and is involved in cell division. Furthermore, zinc has an antioxidant effect that protects the body from free radicals. A zinc deficiency can lead to symptoms such as hair loss, a weakened immune system or growth disorders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmune system:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc strengthens the body’s defences and helps to fight off infections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSkin and hair:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc is important for healthy skin and strong hair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHormonal balance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc plays a role in regulating hormones, particularly insulin and testosterone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eZinc in food\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc is found in many foods, in both plant-based and animal-based sources. The following are particularly rich in zinc:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRed meat (e.g. beef)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSeafood (e.g. oysters)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDairy products\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNuts and seeds (e.g. pumpkin seeds)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWholemeal products\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended daily intake of zinc depends on age, gender and individual needs. For adults, the guideline is around 7 to 10 milligrams per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eIndustrial applications of zinc\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as being important for health, zinc is also indispensable in industry. It is used in numerous sectors, such as the construction industry, the electrical industry and in the manufacture of batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eZinc in the construction industry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the best-known uses of zinc is corrosion protection. Galvanised steel is used wherever materials need to be protected against rust, for example in roofs, façades or bridges. The process known as hot-dip galvanising creates a durable protective layer that makes the metal resistant to corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe role of zinc in the electrical industry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the electrical industry, zinc is an important raw material, particularly in the manufacture of batteries. Zinc-air batteries and alkaline-manganese batteries utilise the metal’s special properties to store and release energy efficiently. Zinc is also used in alloys that are incorporated into electronic components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOther applications of zinc\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc is also used in the manufacture of paints, plastics and cosmetic products. In sun creams, zinc oxide protects the skin from harmful UV radiation. Furthermore, zinc plays a role in agriculture, where it is used as a fertiliser to promote plant growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSustainability and recycling of zinc\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc is a sustainably usable raw material that is highly recyclable. Thanks to modern recycling processes, zinc can be recovered from scrap metal and waste, thereby reducing the environmental impact. The use of recycled zinc is also more energy-efficient than extracting it from ore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eConclusion: The Versatility of Zinc\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc is an indispensable raw material with numerous applications. Whether as an essential trace element for health or as a versatile material in industry, zinc stands out thanks to its unique properties. With the right use and a focus on sustainability, zinc will remain an important part of our lives in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e ","products":[{"product_id":"bio-maca-vita-rot-180-kapseln-im-glas","title":"Organic Red Maca Capsules (Vita)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic Red Maca Vita by Cellavita\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur organic red maca powder in capsule form meets high quality standards.
