Zinc Supports Your Body's Natural Immune Response, but Deficiency is Common, Especially in Older Adults
Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in supporting your body's natural immune response. However, zinc deficiency is quite common, particularly among older individuals.1 This deficiency can contribute to an age-related decline in immune function.1,2 Fortunately, zinc supplementation has been shown to support the aging immune system, as well as promote healthy inflammatory and antioxidant responses.
Zinc's Multifaceted Benefits
Zinc's importance extends far beyond its role in immune function. It is an essential component of superoxide dismutase, one of your body's most powerful natural antioxidants. Additionally, zinc is required for the activity of over 300 enzymes that carry out essential biochemical reactions in your body, including those involved in hormone production, protein and DNA synthesis, and thyroid and bone metabolism.6,8
Zinc is also vital for maintaining cardiovascular, thyroid, neurological, and vision health, particularly as you age. This versatile mineral plays a crucial role in supporting various aspects of your overall health and well-being.
Overcoming Absorption Challenges
Zinc absorption can be limited, and certain compounds in plant sources and grains can further inhibit its absorption. To address this, we've combined highly bioavailable OptiZinc® with zinc citrate to provide a potent 50 milligram dose of zinc. OptiZinc® is a superior bioavailable form of zinc, and preclinical studies indicate that it results in higher blood levels compared to other forms of zinc.
Immune Support, Heart and Brain Health, and Vision Protection
Zinc is essential for the activity of over 300 enzymes that carry out crucial biochemical reactions in your body, including those related to cardiovascular, thyroid, neurological, and skin health. It is even used as a bone health supplement. Additionally, zinc is important for vision health, especially as you age, and it is an essential component of superoxide dismutase, one of your body's most powerful natural antioxidant compounds.
