LIFE EXTENSION Zinc Caps 50 mg, 90 vegetarian capsules | #01813 Support the body's immune defenses, absorbable EXP：06/26

Overview

What Are Zinc Caps?

Research shows that zinc deficiency is widespread, especially in the elderly. Supplementing with zinc is an effective way to support aging immune systems. Since absorption can sometimes be problematic, we’ve developed a low-cost formulation that combines a bioavailable OptiZinc with zinc citrate to provide a potent 50 milligram dose of zinc in each capsule.

For potent and affordable immune support, think zinc!

Beyond Immune Health Support

Zinc is well known for its immune health benefits, but it goes beyond that. For instance, zinc is an essential component of superoxide dismutase, one of your body’s most powerful natural antioxidant enzymes. It also supports neurological health and helps maintain vision in the elderly.

Product Details

Zinc supports your body’s natural immune response. Unfortunately, not getting enough zinc is common, especially in older people.1,2 This can contribute to aging-related decline in immune function.1,2 But zinc supplementation supports aging immune systems as well as a healthy inflammatory response.2-5

Other benefits of zinc

Zinc plays other crucial roles in your body as well. It is an essential component of superoxide dismutase, one of your body’s most powerful natural antioxidant enzymes. Zinc is required for the activity of over 300 enzymes that carry out essential biochemical reactions in your body.2,6,7

Zinc-containing proteins are vital for hormone production and regulate protein and DNA synthesis, insulin production, as well as thyroid metabolism.6,8 Zinc also helps maintain neurological and vision health especially for older people.7,9,10

Powerful dose, low cost

Zinc absorption can be limited, and certain compounds in plant sources and grains can further inhibit absorption.11 That’s why we’ve combined highly bioavailable OptiZinc with zinc citrate to provide a potent 50 milligram dose of zinc.

OptiZinc is a bioavailable form of zinc.12,13
