Life Extension Zinc, 90 capsules

An innovative form of zinc with very high absorption. Zinc affects most of the functions and organs in the human body, including immunity, eyesight or skin.

Zinc may have the following beneficial effects:

Immunity protection

Research shows that zinc deficiency is very common in the population, especially in the elderly. However, zinc is important for natural immune protection, it is also a key component of vital hormones, supporting protein synthesis, DNA, insulin production and thyroid metabolism. Zinc deficiency may contribute to age-related impairment of immune function and may also have a negative impact on all of the above processes. In addition, zinc is part of the body's antioxidants, which can help protect the body from cell-damaging free radicals.

The form of zinc matters

Researchers have found that zinc supplementation can support the aging immune system and normal inflammatory and antioxidant responses. However, although zinc in the form of a dietary supplement is beneficial to the body, its absorption into the body is limited. That's why Life Extension® developed a formula combining the highly bioavailable OptiZinc® with zinc citrate, which provides a powerful dose of 50 milligrams of zinc in a single capsule. OptiZinc® is a bioavailable form of zinc. It consists of one of the most absorbable forms known as zinc methionate (methionine). Scientific studies show that it results in higher blood levels of zinc compared to other forms.

Dosage

The recommended daily dose is 1 capsule. Morning or evening, preferably on an empty stomach.

Notice

Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. It is not intended as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Not intended for children, pregnant and breastfeeding women. Keep out of reach of children. Keep cool and dry. Do not expose to sunlight. Zinc supplementation can hinder the absorption and availability of copper. If more than 50 mg of zinc is supplemented daily, 2 mg of copper should also be taken to prevent copper deficiency. Long-term use of more than 100 mg of zinc per day may be immunosuppressive to some aspects of T-cell and NK-cell function.
