What is Zinc?
Contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood, the maintenance of normal skin and the protection of cells from oxidative stress. A cofactor in over 300 enzyme functions.
Why Zinc Bisglycinate?
Zinc bisglycinate is chelated to the amino acid glycine, offering superior intestinal absorption and minimal gastrointestinal irritation compared to zinc sulphate or zinc oxide — the most commonly used but least tolerated forms.
What are the benefits of Zinc?
Immune defence
Zinc is required for the development and function of neutrophils, natural killer cells, T-lymphocytes and macrophages — contributing to the normal function of the immune system.
Testosterone & reproductive health
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels and is essential for normal spermatogenesis, making it a key micronutrient for normal male reproductive health.
Skin integrity & wound healing
Zinc is required for keratinocyte proliferation, collagen synthesis and the normal inflammatory response that initiates wound repair. It also regulates sebum production, making it relevant for normal skin maintenance.
