Source Naturals OptiZinc
Did you know that zinc plays a key role in over 100 different enzyme systems in the body?! Zinc is involved with cell division, cell growth, healthy tissue repair*, the breakdown of carbohydrates, and more. This mighty mineral is so much more than a sunscreen additive — although that’s most often where most Americans see it. After iron, zinc is the most concentrated mineral found within the body. Your body relies on zinc for proper immune function.* Unfortunately, it’s one of the more common vitamin deficiencies in the US, which means many of us need to supplement regularly. Source Naturals OptiZinc® is a combination of the body-essential trace mineral zinc. This potent form of zinc allows for fast absorption thanks to the addition of methionine (an important amino acid). Want the lowdown? We’ve got you! Zinc:
- Supports immune function*: Zinc is essential for the function and signaling of immune cells.*
- Supports healthy skin and normal tissue repair*: Zinc plays a role in normal skin integrity and helps with healthy tissue repair.*
- Supports healthy skin appearance*:Zinc helps maintain healthy skin balance and is often used for normal skin appearance.*
- Improves performance: It helps reduce oxidative stress in the body, promoting a more healthy and active you!*
When you take OptiZinc®, you’re supporting your body in its ability to sustain proper zinc levels*, and you’re getting other health-benefiting nutrients as well:
- Copper: Copper is an essential trace mineral — like zinc, it can only be ingested through diet or supplements. Since zinc has been shown to interfere with copper absorption, taking both simultaneously helps maintain healthy mineral balance.*
- Methionine: This sulfur-containing amino acid cannot be made by the body. Found naturally in meat, fish, and dairy, methionine plays a crucial role in the synthesis of glutathione, otherwise known as the ‘master antioxidant.’ It plays a role in healthy cell function and helps with the absorption of zinc.*
Crucial for your health and wellbeing, Source Naturals OptiZinc® is just the formula for you! The unique zinc with copper supplement offers zinc methionine sulfate complex — a form your body can readily and efficiently absorb and use.
