Crucial Takeaways:

5:35 - You may need more zinc if...

"There are certain people that that should probably at least supplement with zinc in some way. I mean, it is involved in quite a few things like the cell division and the immune system. As you're saying in some people that might not realize that they could be deficient in zinc, like people with different gastrointestinal conditions, vegetarians actually need about 50% more zinc than non-vegetarians, which is kind of interesting. Pregnant women, of course, you know, because there's a constant cell dividing inside, you know, the womb, you're carrying another person and it has to grow. And it takes a lot of zinc to be able to divide all those cells."

6:53 - These aren't the ants you are used to & they are highly regulated

"Also, these ants, just so you guys know, they all come from northern ChangBai  Mountain. So, you know, these aren't the same ants that you see walking around in your basement. Okay.

But in mStrength, guy, this is a product we've been able to take the raw and and I've been able to get it imported here and this is something that would been almost a three year journey for me."

12:28 - Sexual health 

"And also, zinc is a huge part, undoubtedly, of a strong balanced sexual system, sexuality and human sexual functions. And in Japan, they call it the harmony element because it brings harmony in between couples because it's such a powerful sex and proving element. Similarly, they found influence on the way the zinc is utilized have shown that regular use of of these type of and tonic can prevent and treat disorders associated with all zinc deficiency.
