Here is another reason to use Zinc - tooth pain
Zinc alleviates pain through high-affinity binding to the NMDA receptor NR2A subunit
As we all know tooth pain is one of the worst kind.
Then we have this goodie:
A study of zinc in human teeth
This study doesnt supppor it:
THE EFFECT OF ZINC CHLORIDE AND POTASSIUM FERROCYANIDE AS A CARIES PROPHYLAXIS
This study supports it for rats:
and this too
In vivo Effects of Zinc and Chlorhexidine on Dental Plaque Ureolysis and Glycolysis
Given that Zinc is needed for so many things, and that in combination with K2 effects may be more substantial, I think its a good idea.
