Life Extension Zinc Caps High Potency 50mg 90 Vegetarian Capsules

Zinc is an essential mineral that is involved in almost all vital processes in the body. It is part of more than 300 types of enzymes. Zinc deficiency is widespread, especially in the elderly. Its deficiency can cause the weakening of immunity associated with aging.

Zinc can help maintain healthy thymus function, which diminishes and deteriorates with age, leading to decreased immunity. Zinc keeps the immune system strong, helps to heal wounds and normalizes the general functioning of the body. It is also essential for the normal function of the skeletal, neurological and endocrine systems. It is also known to play an important role in protecting the body from oxidative stress and is especially beneficial in supporting healthy aging. Vegetarians, lactating mothers, alcohol abusers, and those who are unable to eat well are at a higher risk of zinc deficiency.

Life Extension has developed a low-cost formula that combines the stable, enhanced bioavailability of OptiZinc with zinc citrate to provide an effective 50 milligram dose of zinc per capsule. OptiZinc is an excellent bioavailable form of zinc. It is more easily absorbed than regular zinc because it consists of one of the most readily available forms of zinc, zinc methionate (methionine).
