Zinc is involved in the activity of approximately 300 enzymes that promote biochemical reactions in the body. This key mineral is also an integral component of vital hormones, supports insulin production, as well as thyroid and bone metabolism. Zinc supports cardiovascular and nerve health, as well as maintaining vision in the elderly.
Zinc Caps contains OptiZinc, a superior bioavailable form of zinc. It is assimilated more easily than traditional forms of zinc because it contains the most absorbable form of zinc - zinc methionate. Studies indicate that taking this form of zinc results in higher blood levels compared to other forms of zinc.
