Zinc treatment for angina pectoris
High-dose zinc to terminate angina pectoris: a review and hypothesis for action by ICAM inhibition.
Directly addresses zinc treatment
We delved into an intriguing question: Can high doses of zinc help relieve chest pain caused by angina pectoris? Our research reviewed studies that highlight how zinc may play a role in managing this condition. Angina pectoris often results from arteriosclerosis, where the arteries become narrowed due to cholesterol buildup and other factors.

We discovered that patients with severe atherosclerosis showed promising improvements when treated with high-dose zinc. Specifically, a treatment regimen involved raising serum zinc levels significantly, resulting in symptom relief for many individuals. In one notable case, 12 out of 16 patients experienced measurable benefits, including one patient who also suffered from Raynaud's disease.

Furthermore, our analysis noted that long-term exposure to zinc in the environment correlated with reduced incidence of angina and ischemic events during exercise. Zinc appears to possess antioxidant properties, which may protect against the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, a key player in artery damage. By blocking certain inflammatory factors and promoting better circulation, zinc might enhance heart function and alleviate chest pain.

Based on these findings, we propose that zinc treatment should be considered a fundamental option in both prevention and therapy for atherosclerosis-related chest pain. This could lead to a renewed focus on restoring a healthier cardiac function among those affected by these conditions.

Reduced chest pains
Reduced chest pains from Angina. I've been taking this for 3 weeks now, with 2 - 4 doses a day. Immediately, I noticed that my chest pains from Angina were nearly gone while using my gas powered weed eater. Previously, I would experience severe chest pain halfway through. I also added Benfotiamine, R-ALA, L-Carnitine, & L-Arginine, which seem to help. This combination enables me to exercise more without fear of pain. Now, I'm convinced of its benefits!

Life-saving zinc
Very excellent; I felt inspired to purchase this a month before I had corona when I was already suffering from chest allergies and was immunocompromised. The doctor assured me that the zinc I took is what saved my life.

Reduced chest pain
I tried it for the first time on a friend's recommendation. The effect was minimal initially, but after taking half, my chest pain actually decreased during my menstruation. I will continue to use it as it seems beneficial for my body.
