In the last batches of Apollo's Hegemony products, another glue was used for lids under the caps. The glue is weaker than previously used, this is why the lid often stays inside the cap when unscrewing the bottle. This does not affect the quality of products because during storage the lid adheres to the bottle and protects its contents.
Apollo’s Hegemony Z-balance Lite is a dietary supplement containing zinc in the form of picolinate and copper in the form of gluconate. These are forms characterized by high bioavailability. Zinc and copper are vital, synergistic trace elements.
Zinc is an essential micronutrient for the system. It affects the functioning of approx. 300 enzymes involved in the biochemical transformation nutrients. Zinc together with copper form zinc-copper superoxide dismutase, an enzyme with strong antioxidant activity.
Copper is an essential trace element. Copper is found most abundantly in the brain, skeletal muscle, and liver. Copper affects the proper functioning of the nervous system. 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.
Glucose-insulin metabolism
Zinc is necessary for the synthesis of insulin. Zinc ions are present in β-cells of the pancreas and affect the release of insulin. Zinc deficiency may lead to the impaired tolerance of tissues to glucose. Besides, due to the inhibitory action of zinc on 3β glycogen synthase (GSK3β), it may positively affect insulin signaling.
Immunity support
Zinc contributes to the proper functioning of the immune system. As studies show, it also has some antiviral potential. Zinc is important for the development of both cellular and humoral immune responses, thus helping to increase the body's resistance to infection.
Nervous system support
Zinc occurs most abundantly in the brain. The zinc ions present in the vicinity of pre-synaptic endings modulate synaptic transmission. Therefore, zinc deficiency is associated with impaired neurotransmission and the development of nervous system defects during fetal development. There are reports pointing to the possible effect of zinc in protecting the brain from neurodegenerative processes.
Healthy hair, skin, and nails
Zinc and copper participate in the metabolism of collagen, fatty acids, and the synthesis of prostaglandins, affecting the secretory functions of the skin. Zinc affects the regeneration of the skin and wound healing, and its deficiency adversely affects the functioning of the skin's immune system. The right level of zinc in the body is essential for the growth of hair and nails.
In conclusion, Apollo's Hegemony Z-balance is a product supplying vital 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.
