What is Zinc?
Zinc is an aminochelated zinc dietary supplement (organic form), a patented complex of zinc and L-methionine in a 1:1 ratio (L-optizinc ®), with high bioavailability and absorption in the body. Copper is also added in the form of bisglycinate.
Amino-chelated form with high bioavailability
Zinc chelated with the amino acid L-methionine (L-optizinc ®) allows this mineral to be better absorbed and retained longer in tissues than other forms of zinc.
The chelate character protects zinc from the binding and precipitation of phosphates, phytates and tannins from the diet, and thanks to them its absorption is not altered.
How can zinc help us?
Zinc is an essential trace mineral and indispensable for numerous functions. Among some of them, zinc contributes to:
- To the normal functioning of the immune system.
- To the normal maintenance of bones, hair, nails and skin.
- To normal cognitive function.
- To normal fertility and reproduction.
- To the process of cell division.
- To the normal metabolism of vitamin A, fatty acids, carbohydrates and macronutrients.
- To normal protein synthesis.
- To maintaining vision under normal conditions.
Why have we included copper in our Zinc supplement?
Mineral Balance
Including copper in our zinc supplement in a 10:1 ratio (10 parts zinc to 1 part copper) helps maintain the balance between these two minerals, as a high and prolonged intake of zinc can reduce intestinal copper absorption and lead to a deficiency. Both minerals play essential roles in our body. Therefore, incorporating copper in an appropriate ratio with zinc helps maintain proper mineral homeostasis.
Copper contributes to:
- The normal function of the immune system.
- The protection of cells from oxidative damage.
Did you know...?
- Mineral homeostasis is the process by which our body maintains balanced levels of different minerals.
