Description: Opti-L-Zinc by NOW
Opti-L-Zinc is a patented form of zinc complexed with the amino acid Methionine. Research has demonstrated this product to be better absorbed and retained longer compared to several other forms of zinc tested. Zinc is a component of more than 300 enzymes needed to repair wounds, maintain fertility in adults and growth in children, synthesize protein, help cells reproduce, preserve vision, boost immunity, and protect against free radicals, among other functions. Copper is added to Opti-L-Zinc because zinc can sometime reduce the body's ability to utilize this essential mineral. For healthy people, this interference is circumvented by supplementing with copper, along with zinc. |
