Apollo's Hegemony Z-balance is a dietary supplement containing zinc and copper in an optimal quantity ratio. These are necessary for health synergistic trace elements. According to research, zinc in the form of picolinate is characterized by the best absorbency. The package contains 180 capsules suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
Zinc is an essential micronutrient for the system. It is necessary for the proper functioning of approx. 300 enzymes involved in the biochemical transformation of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and carbohydrates. Zinc is part of, among others, DNA and RNA polymerase, it influences the synthesis of hormones and supports the optimal condition of skin and mucous membranes. Zinc together with copper form zinc-copper superoxide dismutase, an enzyme with a strong antioxidant activity, protecting against DNA damages induced by superoxides. Superoxide damage is one of the important causes of cancer development.
The organ in which the zinc content is the largest is brain. The zinc ions present in the vicinity of pre-synaptic endings have modulatory effects on synaptic conduction. Therefore, zinc deficiency is associated with impaired neurotransmission and the development of nervous system defects during fetal development. Some researchers suggest that zinc plays an important role in protecting the brain from neurodegenerative processes.
Zinc has a positive effect on carbohydrate metabolism. It is necessary for the synthesis of insulin. Zinc ions are present in β-cells of the pancreas and affect the release of insulin, promoting insulin sensitivity. Zinc deficiency causes increased tolerance of tissues to glucose. In addition, due to the inhibitory action of zinc on 3β glycogen synthase (GSK3β), it may positively affect insulin signaling.
Zinc is essential for the functioning of the immune system. Zinc deficiency during pregnancy negatively affects the immunity of infants. This element is important for the development of both cellular and humoral immune responses, helping to increase the body's resistance to infection. It has an inhibitory effect on thymic atrophy while its deficiency contributes to the disappearance of this organ. In animal studies, zinc deficiency caused loss of lymph tissue and inhibition of T cell production. Zinc deficiency was observed in children with pneumonia and bronchitis.
Zinc effectively supports the condition of skin, hair and nails. It takes part in the metabolism of collagen, fatty acids and the synthesis of prostaglandins, affecting the secretory functions of the skin. Zinc affects regeneration of the skin and wound healing, and its deficiency adversely affects the functioning of the skin's immune system, contributing to the development of dermatoses. The right level of zinc in the body is essential for the growth of hair and nails.
Zinc has a beneficial effect on male fertility. It participates in the processes of spermatogenesis, it is necessary to maintain an appropriate number of sperm cells in the semen and optimal development of the testicles. Zinc deficiency correlates with a decrease in testosterone and libido levels, and also adversely affects the lifespan of sperm cells. According to studies, zinc supplementation may be helpful in fertility disorders, especially in men with low testosterone levels.
Zinc competes with copper in absorption processes, because supplementation of zinc may reduce the absorption of copper. Therefore, to avoid shortages, zinc-containing preparations should be "balanced" by the simultaneous presence of copper.
Copper is an essential trace element that participates in many important processes in the body. The largest amounts of copper are found in the brain, skeletal muscle, and liver. Copper affects proper neurotransmission, supporting brain function, memory and concentration, as an antioxidant participates in maintaining the redox balance in the body and participates in the synthesis of collagen and elastin, which results in an improved condition of skin, hair, and nails. Copper is also needed for the proper absorption of iron.
In conclusion, Apollo's Hegemony Z-balance is a healthy dietary supplement, supplying essential minerals in optimal amounts. The product is recommended especially to athletes and physically active people, people on a vegetable diet, to improve the condition of skin, hair and nails, strengthen immunity and antioxidant protection of the body and as part of the pro-health prophylaxis.

Zinc (chemical element from transition group 12) belongs to the trace elements, it helps maintain acid-base balance of the body, protein, energy, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. It provides bone metabolism and transport of oxygen. It protects the body against free radicals. Necessary for the proper operation of the senses of taste and smell. Positive impact on the process of insulin metabolism in the pancreas. It supports visual adaptation to the dark, has a significant influence on brain function. It is helpful in the treatment of infertility and mental illness.
Zinc deficiency leads to decreased immunity, and growth retardation. Zinc deficiency can occur in case of excessive consumption of simple sugars. In the case of hormonal therapy of women with irregular menstruation, the therapy should be associated with increased consumption of zinc. It can be found in food like: beans, eggs, carrots, beef and pork meat, milk, nuts, citrus fruits, seafood, rice, cottage cheese, lettuce.
Dosage: Daily 12-15 mg zinc. Exceeding the daily dose of 20 mg cause symptoms of poisoning of the body.
Zinc picolinate – an organic zinc salt, its highly available form of proven ability to increase the element level in the body system. Zinc belongs to the microelements essential for the human body system and the demand results mainly from the fact that it is present in active centres of many enzymes conducting the reactions responsible for homeostasis.
It forms also protein domains binding DNA, called also zinc fingers, which determines the activity of many regulatory proteins. The proper supply of zinc ensures smooth functioning of the immune system. It affects also metabolism, both by modifications of digestive enzymes activity and influence on insulin secretion in beta pancreatic cells.
Zinc protects also the cells from the action of free radicals. The proper supply of the element can also increase testosterone synthesis, as it reduces the activity of aromatase. In men, zinc prevents prostate cancer and in women – regulates menstruation.
Copper - trace mineral that facilitates the introduction of iron into hemoglobin, allowing the correct functioning of antioxidant processes. It is an important component of enzymes that affect the processes of aerobic metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism and in the formation of collagen. With proper diet, do not use supplements containing copper, as an overdose can cause insomnia, hair loss. It occurs in foods such as legumes, offal, plums, seafood. Copper compounds must be used in a responsible way, because many of them have toxic properties.
Dosing: A sufficient amount of copper provides proper diet.
