Dietary supplement
Zinc supports the body’s natural immune defenses. Studies have shown that zinc deficiency is common, especially among the elderly. This deficiency can, with age, weaken immunity or contribute to the “aging” of the immune system.
Scientists have found that zinc supplements are an effective way to strengthen the aging immune system and support normal inflammatory and antioxidant responses.
The longstanding problem is that zinc absorption can be limited, and certain molecules in plant sources and grains can further inhibit this process.
Life Extension has developed an inexpensive product that combines OptiZinc, which is distinguished by increased bioavailability, and zinc citrate. This supplement provides an effective dose of zinc (50 mg) per capsule.
Zinc plays an important role not only in strengthening immunity. It is an essential component of superoxide dismutase, one of the most powerful natural antioxidants in the body. Zinc stimulates the activity of about 300 enzymes, promoting biochemical reactions in the body. This essential trace element is also an integral component of vital hormones, supports protein and DNA synthesis, insulin production, and thyroid and bone metabolism. Zinc supports the health of the cardiovascular and nervous systems and helps maintain vision in the elderly.
Age-related decline in immunity is partly due to a decrease in size and deterioration of the function of the thymus gland. Evidence suggests that zinc helps maintain normal thymus function in older adults.
OptiZinc is an excellent bioavailable form of zinc. It is absorbed more easily than regular zinc because it contains one of the most bioavailable forms of zinc—zinc methionate (methionine). Published studies show that it provides higher blood zinc levels compared to other forms of zinc.
