Zinc serves as a cofactor for numerous enzymes and transcription factors, supporting immune cell function, antioxidant defenses, and protein and DNA synthesis.
Caution: High-dose zinc may reduce copper absorption, so prolonged use at 50 mg per day or more may call for adding copper to avoid deficiency; take away from iron or calcium supplements if stomach upset or absorption concerns arise.
Label Warning: Supplemental zinc may reduce copper absorption; if taking more than 50 mg of zinc daily for over four weeks, consider 2 mg of supplemental copper to help avoid deficiency. Consult a physician if pregnant, nursing, or under medical care. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
Who should be cautious: People with known copper deficiency or at risk for low copper may need caution. Those with gastrointestinal sensitivity may prefer to take with food to minimize discomfort. If you take thyroid medications or certain antibiotics, consider separating dosing from minerals like zinc to avoid reduced absorption; discuss timing with a healthcare provider.
Storage: Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place.

What Are Zinc Caps?
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 a bioavailable OptiZinc® with zinc citrate to provide a potent 50 milligram dose of zinc in each capsule.
For potent and affordable immune support, think zinc!
Zinc supports your body’s natural immune response. Unfortunately, not getting enough zinc is common, especially in older people. This can contribute to aging-related decline in immune function. But zinc supplementation supports aging immune systems as well as a healthy inflammatory response.
Other benefits of zinc
Zinc plays other crucial roles in your body as well. It is an essential component of superoxide dismutase, one of your body’s most powerful natural antioxidant enzymes. Zinc is required for the activity of over 300 enzymes that carry out essential biochemical reactions in your body.
Zinc-containing proteins are vital for hormone production and regulate protein and DNA synthesis, insulin production, as well as thyroid metabolism. Zinc also helps maintain neurological and vision health especially for older people.
Powerful dose, low cost
Zinc absorption can be limited, and certain compounds in plant sources and grains can further inhibit absorption. That’s why we’ve combined highly bioavailable OptiZinc® with zinc citrate to provide a potent 50 milligram dose of zinc.

Supplemental zinc can inhibit the absorption and availability of copper. If more than 50 mg of supplemental zinc is to be taken daily for more than four weeks, 2 mg of supplemental copper should also be taken to prevent copper deficiency.
