From the paper:

“The primary protein component of these amyloid plaques is the human islet amyloid polypeptide (hIAPP, also called amylin).”

“Within pancreatic β-cells, hIAPP is stored in secretory granules, alongside zinc, insulin, and the C-peptide, at concentrations orders of magnitude higher than what has been observed to spontaneously form toxic aggregates in vitro.”

“Acidic pH, zinc, and insulin have been individually established as inhibitors of hIAPP aggregation.”

So, you can’t really fix insulin or Ph much, but you can make sure you are getting an adequate, not excessive, amount of zinc a day.

The Upper Tolerable Limit for zinc is no more than 40 mg a day (some go beyond for health conditions). The US RDA is 11 mg for men and 8 mg for women. Have zinc and copper in a 7.5:1 ratio, according to multiple health sites, as they drive out the opposing mineral.

The Upper Tolerable Limit for zinc is no more than 40 mg a day (some go beyond for health conditions).

I take a 50mg caplet daily along with D/K-2. I am sure I am getting zinc from other sources. What is the acceptable blood level range please, anyone?
