Zinc is a mineral essential for formation of superoxide dismutase, one of the body's most important free radical scavengers and one that cannot be directly supplemented. Zinc also promotes wound healing, immune function, taste sensitivity, protein synthesis116, insulin production, and reproduction including organ development and sperm motility. OptiZinc is a superior bioavailable form of zinc. Research indicates that even a slight zinc deficiency may lower one's immune function. If your diet has an excess of refined sugar, alcohol and fats, you are probably zinc deficient. Eat zinc-rich foods such as oysters, lean beef, poultry, nuts to ensure your zinc stores. When one is undergoing "viral attack," one should increase zinc intake not exceeding 90 mg. Our OPTIZINC offers maximum absorption of zinc. (Note: Absorbaid increases absorption of zinc 71%. Absorbaid may be found under Digestion in our menu).
