Zinc is an essential trace mineral required for optimum health. It is responsible for multiple metabolic processes including cellular function, sexual development, reproductive function, cognitive function, and immune system function. Zinc is also an essential component of many enzymes involved in the metabolism of proteins and nucleic acids. Recent studies show that a deficiency in zinc-lead to symptoms such as hair loss, lack of alertness, and a reduced sense of taste and smell. Zinc cannot be produced within the body therefore we must get it from our food or through supplementation. That being said, not all zinc supplements are equal, in fact, most zinc supplements sold on the market are not readily absorbed or well tolerated. Cymbiotika’s zinc complex is a blend of three high absorbing forms of zinc, all backed by clinical data providing superior absorption and utilization. We also added two essential elements, copper and selenium that work synergistically to support multiple functions in the body. Copper and zinc work together in processes such as immune support, nervous system function, and healthy metabolism. They act as antagonists, when levels of one decrease, the other increases. The science is clear, there is an interaction between zinc and copper. Additional studies indicate copper supplementation along with zinc helps balance absorption of both nutrients. Cymbiotika is confident that our new mineral complex is the most advanced zinc, copper, selenium formula to date.
