Reacted Zinc includes highly absorbed zinc, the second-most
abundant trace mineral in the body, for a variety of protocols. • Provides
Highly Absorbed Zinc for a Variety of Protocols • High-Concentration Zinc to
Support Immune Function* Zinc is an essential trace mineral important to many
functions of human health. It plays a role in maintaining cellular metabolism
and gene expression. Zinc is critical to a diverse group of physiological
processes, such as immune function, insulin signaling, tissue repair, vision
and neuro-transmission. It is second only to iron in worldwide incidence of
deficiency, impacting 2 billion people in developing nations. Due to the wide
range of functions regulated by zinc, deficiency, or even marginal deficiency,
can have serious health implications. Zinc is fundamental to the activity of
over 100 enzymes and supports immune function, protein synthesis, tissue
growth, DNA synthesis and cell division. During pregnancy, infancy and
childhood, the body needs zinc for proper growth and development. Zinc also
helps tissue repair and is important for adequate functioning of the senses of
taste and smell. Daily intake of zinc is necessary to maintain adequate levels
within the body because the body has no specialized zinc storage system.
Reacted Zinc provides 54 mg of highly-absorbed zinc, ideally formulated using
the amino acid chelate form of zinc (zinc glycinate) for enhanced absorption,
optimal utilization and gastrointestinal comfort. Supplementing the right form
of zinc is key to maintaining healthy levels within the body and compliance to
a supplement regimen. Zinc plays a crucial role in supporting immune function,
maintaining healthy tissue growth, and increasing the antioxidant reserves that
protect the body from free radical damage.*
