Zinc supports yLife Extension's body’s natural immune response. Unfortunately, not getting enough zinc is common, especially in older people.1,2 This can contribute to aging-related decline in immune function.1,2 But zinc supplementation supports aging immune systems as well as a healthy inflammatory response.2-5
Other benefits of zinc
Zinc plays other crucial roles in yLife Extension's body as well. It is an essential component of superoxide dismutase, one of yLife Extension's body’s most powerful natural antioxidant enzymes. Zinc is required for the activity of over 300 enzymes that carry out essential biochemical reactions in yLife Extension's body.2,6,7
Zinc-containing proteins are vital for hormone production and regulate protein and DNA synthesis, insulin production, as well as thyroid metabolism.6,8 Zinc also helps maintain neurological and vision health especially for older people.7,9,10
Powerful dose, low cost
Zinc absorption can be limited, and certain compounds in plant sLife Extension'sces and grains can further inhibit absorption.11 That’s why we’ve combined highly bioavailable OptiZinc® with zinc citrate to provide a potent 50 milligram dose of zinc.
OptiZinc® is a bioavailable form of zinc.12,13

I like them.

I was recommended by a naturopath to take zinc among a few other things. It's been about 2 months now and I believe that I am feeling stronger. Praise God!
