Essential Zinc Support for Immunity, Growth, and Cognitive Health*
What It Does
Zinc Citrate 25 mg provides a gentle, bioavailable form of zinc to support immune function, growth, brain health, and reproductive wellness.* It helps replenish a critical mineral that the body cannot store in large amounts and must obtain consistently from the diet.*
How It Works
• Zinc is involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions including those related to energy production, immune defense, and protein metabolism.*[1]
• Supports immune homeostasis, influencing both innate (e.g., neutrophils, NK cells) and adaptive (T and B cells) responses.*[2]
• Promotes cellular growth and DNA structure, including “zinc finger” proteins that regulate gene expression.*[1]
• Supports emotional and cognitive well-being, with zinc contributing to neurotransmitter function and neuroprotection.*[3-5]
• Critical for reproductive health, including hormone regulation, oocyte maturation, and testosterone synthesis.*[7-9]
• Vegetarians and vegans may have increased need for zinc.*[10]
• Zinc citrate has been shown to be more absorbable than zinc oxide and comparable to gluconate.*[11]
Who It’s For
Designed for individuals seeking a foundational level of daily zinc to support immunity, cognition, and reproductive health and ideal for vegetarians, older adults, and those with increased dietary needs.*
Special Features
Formulated with zinc citrate, a well-tolerated and well-absorbed form of zinc backed by comparative absorption data.*
