Applications:
1. Oral Cavity Cleansing
When added to toothpaste, it can typically cleanse the oral cavity, especially for deep cleaning of teeth. It helps remove plaque, food residues, and inhibits the growth of oral bacteria, thus maintaining oral hygiene and freshening breath.
2. Hair Loss Prevention
Added to shampoos and conditioners, it can deeply cleanse the scalp, prevent hair dryness, and reduce hair loss. By nourishing hair follicles and regulating scalp oil secretion, it improves the health of hair roots and reduces hair shedding caused by dryness or follicle damage.
3. Antibacterial Effect
With strong bactericidal properties, this ingredient can eliminate pathogenic bacteria on the skin surface when applied topically. It is effective against common skin microbes (such as bacteria and fungi), helping to prevent skin infections, acne, or inflammatory reactions.
4. Eye Health Protection
When incorporated into food, it helps reduce the incidence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and protects eyesight. Zinc picolinate supports the metabolism of retinal cells and the synthesis of visual pigments, maintaining the normal function of the optic nerve and delaying vision decline.
5. Disease Prevention
Acting on the body, it participates in protein synthesis and lipid metabolism, strengthening the immune system and regulating physiological functions. By promoting enzyme activity and cellular metabolism, it helps prevent metabolic disorders, immune deficiencies, and other diseases, contributing to overall health maintenance.
