Douglas Laboratories Opti-Zinc 30

OptiZinc from Douglas Labs is a unique, patented form of methionine-bound zinc that dramatically increase the bioavailability of zinc. Researchers have shown that OptiZinc and L-OptiZinc may be the most potent zinc antioxidants available as a dietary supplement.*

Zinc, like iron, copper and chromium, is one of 16 essential trace minerals the body needs to keep healthy and fit. For people that are sick or out of shape, zinc may be the most precious metal of all.

Zinc is essential for growth and development, reproduction, digestion, respiration, and for proper brain, nerve, vision and immune function.*

Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in numerous enzyme systems the body needs to keep healthy and fit. OptiZinc and L-OptiZinc are patented 1:1 complexes of zinc and methionine, the amino acid best absorbed by the body. Studies show that OptiZinc and L-OptiZinc are absorbed better, retained longer and more useful support than some other supplements available.*

Research shows that a high-fiber meal can inhibit zinc absorption to under 3% of the amount consumed. A 1992 study showed that OptiZinc actually resists dietary fiber and phytate, and increases zinc absorption better than ordinary zinc supplements tested. In addition, unlike other zinc supplements, OptiZinc will not adversely affect copper absorption.*

OptiZinc and L-OptiZinc are the only premium zinc supplements FDA-approved safe for human nutrition. Some zinc binding ligands, such as picolinic acid, have been shown to remove iron from cells and cause anemia, or increase lead absorption. OptiZinc and L-OptiZinc will not remove iron from cells or cause anemia. In fact, a 1991 study showed that a combination of zinc and methionine actually inhibits lead absorption and reduces lead levels in the blood.*
