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.

Nocturia relief

The best! I have struggled with nocturia for many years, but this particular Zinc helps me sleep through the night. It’s truly remarkable that I no longer need to visit the toilet after midnight. Solgar consistently provides excellent quality products; it’s surprising we don't have this level of quality available to us.

Child's sleep improvement
3 people found this helpful
Zinc helped my child sleep soundly. At around one and a half years old, he started waking up at night and crying for about an hour. He was physically healthy, and the cause was unknown. We were advised to give him zinc, considering it might relate to spasm of cerebral vessels. After a month, the crying stopped, and we ceased the zinc. Subsequent tests showed his zinc levels were at the upper limit of normal, and this result has been maintained for two years.
