Life Extension Zinc Caps High Potency 50 mg 90 Vegetarian Capsules

Zinc Caps High Potency 50 mg is a supplement from Life Extension, a well-known American brand in the nutritional supplements industry, offering a potent 50 mg dose of zinc per capsule in a pack of 90 vegetarian capsules. This formulation combines the enhanced bioavailability of OptiZinc with zinc citrate, aiming to provide a strong and easily absorbed dose of this essential mineral.

This supplement was developed to address the common issue of zinc deficiency, which can result from limited absorption or from following plant-based diets that contain compounds known to inhibit zinc uptake. Life Extension combined quality and efficacy at an accessible price point, and the formula is gluten-free, non-GMO, and suitable for vegetarians.

Benefits

• Immune System Support: Zinc supports your body’s natural immune defenses.
• Antioxidant Support: Zinc is an essential component of superoxide dismutase, one of the body’s most powerful natural antioxidants.
• Enzyme Function Support: Zinc acts as a cofactor for hundreds of enzymes that carry out essential biochemical reactions in the body.
• General Wellness: Zinc contributes to protein and DNA synthesis, and supports thyroid and bone metabolism.

Active Ingredients

Each capsule contains 50 mg of zinc as zinc monomethionine (OptiZinc) combined with zinc citrate, a blend designed to improve absorption compared to standard zinc forms. Other ingredients include microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable cellulose used as the capsule shell, vegetable stearate, and silica.

How to Use

Take one capsule daily, preferably with food to help reduce the chance of stomach upset. Do not exceed the recommended dose, and it is best to separate intake from iron or calcium supplements to support optimal absorption.

Who Is It For?

This product is suitable for adults who get limited zinc from their diet, particularly those following plant-based diets that may reduce zinc absorption, as well as anyone looking to support their daily immune health.

Warnings

Supplemental zinc can reduce the absorption and availability of copper, so if more than 50 mg of zinc is taken daily on a chronic basis for over four weeks, adding 2 mg of supplemental copper is advised to help prevent deficiency. Chronic intake of more than 100 mg of zinc daily may negatively affect certain immune functions. Keep out of reach of children and do not exceed the recommended dose. Consult a physician before use if you have a medical condition or are pregnant or nursing.
