We explored how zinc affects heart function in the context of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), specifically focusing on cases of intermittent hypoxia (IH). In a detailed study using male rats, researchers set up different groups: a control group and one that underwent 10 weeks of exercise training. Half of the rats in both groups were exposed to IH conditions to simulate the effects of sleep apnea.
The results were eye-opening. Rats that experienced IH showed notable impairment in their heart's left ventricular function, characterized by reduced ejection fraction and increased inflammation. However, when treated with zinc, these negative effects were significantly countered. Notably, those who exercised and received zinc treatment displayed improved heart function and antioxidant capabilities compared to their counterparts that did not receive zinc.
On the flip side, exercise alone did not provide the same protective benefits when zinc was absent. The findings suggest that zinc is essential not only for the heart's protection against the damaging effects of IH but also enhances the benefits of physical exercise. This research indicates the importance of zinc in potentially managing heart health in individuals suffering from sleep apnea.

Calmer nights
I regularly take chelated zinc with short breaks. I notice its effects immediately—the nervous system calms and it becomes easier to fall asleep. My sleep is deeper, making me feel less tired and more cheerful. Even at my age (64), my hair has improved, becoming thicker and denser. I take one tablet after dinner. Solgar consistently meets my expectations; I highly recommend it.

Improved sleep quality

Excellent and essential! Zinc is crucial for immunity; I had it before the pandemic and now I never miss it. I take it in the evening alongside magnesium malate and vitamin B6, which contributes to a restful night's sleep and relaxes my body. I've created my own ZMA (zinc, magnesium, and B6) blend. I highly recommend the Solgar brand, as my blood D3 levels have improved significantly since using their D3 product. Congratulations to IHERB for having reliable partners and for delivering well-packaged products on time.
