Zinc

Zincum is a mineral preparation used in homeopathic treatments. It is often prescribed as a supplement for symptoms of nervous system disorders, such as restlessness, insomnia, muscle spasms, and involuntary limb movements. It can help regulate the body's sensitivity to nervous impulses.

What is Zincum?

Zincum, particularly in the form of Zincum metallicum (metallic zinc), is included in homeopathic preparations. Zinc plays a role in many biological processes in the body. In its homeopathic form, it primarily targets the nervous system and behavioral symptoms.

Common Areas of Use

• Restless legs syndrome
• Muscle twitches, tics
• Extreme mental fatigue and stress
• Insomnia and night restlessness
• Irritability, hyperactivity, and attention deficit

How Does It Work?

Zincum preparations, prepared according to homeopathic principles, help the body achieve balance by regulating the nervous system's excessive response to stimuli. They are thought to have a soothing effect, particularly on symptoms of nervous origin.

In what forms is it used?

• Zincum metallicum (most common form)
• Zincum valerianicum (more sedative form)
• Zincum phosphoricum

These ingredients can be found alone or in combination in homeopathic ampoules. They can be taken by injection in ampoule form or orally in drops/tablets.

Who is it suitable for?

If you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have serious neurological diseases, you should definitely consult a specialist.

In case of any adverse effects, use should be stopped and a physician should be consulted.
