Research shows that zinc deficiency is widespread, especially in the elderly. Supplementing with zinc is an effective way to support aging immune systems. Since absorption can sometimes be problematic, we’ve developed a low-cost formulation that combines the highly bioavailable OptiZinc® with zinc citrate to provide a potent 50 milligram dose of zinc in each capsule. OptiZinc® contains one of the most absorbable forms of zinc, zinc methionate, which is prized for its superior bioavailability.
Other ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose, vegetable cellulose (capsule), vegetable stearate, silica.

Usage
Take one (1) capsule daily with or without food, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner.
Caution Supplemental zinc can inhibit the absorption and availability of copper. If more than 50 mg of supplemental zinc is taken daily on a chronic basis, 2 mg of supplemental copper should also be taken to prevent copper deficiency. Chronic ingestion of more than 100 mg of zinc daily may be immunosuppressive for some aspects of T-cell and NK cell function.
I keep a tube on hand at all times for emergencies. So helpful to lessen inflamation and bruising from sprains and contusions. Once I sprained my ankle and applied the ointment to the area that hurt the next day I realized that I missed an area because it looked so much worse than the major spot. Have also given to a neighbor that had suffered a sprain a week earlier, she was completely amazed at the impressive results!
This product has helped me tend to inflammation when I cannot take NASAIDS / Advil to tend to many issues. I take it daily, and then will increase my dose when I need extra support. This supplement has been very helpful.
