Here’s what the app developer has to say about Forest:
Zinc is an essential trace element absolutely required for optimal brain health and cognition. Zinc is required for memory formation. When more zinc is available in neurons, neurotransmitters move more efficiently and stay in play longer. Zinc helps boost BDNF which is needed for long-term potentiation and the formation of memory. A deficiency in this mineral results in poor memory. Zinc is integral to the activity of at least 100 enzymes. And zinc helps lower oxidative stress which protects brain cells and cerebral blood flow. Zinc is needed for protein synthesis to make neurotransmitters. And is involved in DNA repair, synthesis and cell division. Zinc deficiency is common even in our Western society because we often don’t get enough from food. If you’re vegan or vegetarian, you are particularly susceptible. Zinc levels are low in those with depression. And the lower the zinc level, the more severe the depression. Recommended zinc dosage is 30 mg daily, balanced with 2 mg of copper.
