Description: Synergistic Zinc is a hypoallergenic amino acid chelated source of zinc, prepared by a special enzyme chelation process . Zinc synergists Vitamin A and copper augment the bioavailability and bioactivity of zinc. Both zinc and copper are chelated to amino acids obtained from rice protein.

Zinc is essential for many physiological processes, including cellular nucleic acid synthesis, sensory taste and smell, keratin metabolism, sexual and reproductive processes, wound healing, etc. Soil deficiency of Zinc is widespread in North America, often resulting in Zinc deficiency in unsupplemented diets.

Zinc and copper compete for absorption in the digestive tract, and should therefore be provided in a carefully balanced ratio. This formula maintains this physiologically balanced ratio. Vitamin A depends on zinc for absorption and also enhances absorption of zinc. The combination makes both highly assimilable. The unique CellCote coating locks in freshness and potency, and makes tablets easy to swallow.

Application: The addition of copper eliminates the possibility of creating a copper deficiency or anemia. For use where zinc supplementation is required.

Caution: High doses of zinc ( over 300mg ) may impair immune response in certain individuals, decrease in HDL cholesterol, nausea, depression, and increase seizures in epileptics.
