Zinc Lozenges

15mg with Vitamin C and Slippery Elm

DESCRIPTION

Zinc Lozenges supply bioavailable zinc, sweetened with sorbitol and flavored with natural lemon extracts. Each lozenge contains 15 mg of elemental zinc in the form of zinc citrate and gluconate.

FUNCTIONS

Zinc Lozenges

Zinc is an essential trace element involved in most major metabolic pathways. General signs of human zinc deficiency indicate that zinc has important functions in maintaining immune function, reproduction, healthy skin, and growth. Numerous studies support the fundamental role of zinc in normal immune response in humans. Immune cells must be able to rapidly divide in order to respond to daily challenges. Like all rapidly dividing cells, immune cells depend on adequate amounts of dietary zinc. As a cofactor of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), zinc can be considered an antioxidant nutrient. Zinc supplementation has been shown to increase the antioxidant activity of SOD, and provide increased free radical protection. Zinc deficiency is associated with increased oxidative damage. Absorption of toxic heavy metals, especially cadmium and lead, is lower in individuals with high zinc status compared to those with low zinc status. The body pool of readily available zinc appears to be small, which renders the body susceptible to deficiency and therefore dependent on a steady dietary supply of bioavailable zinc. While typical zinc intakes in U.S. adults are between 10 and 15 mg per day, which approach RDA, intakes in the elderly are often low. Pregnant women are also at risk for zinc deficiency since they have a higher requirement for this trace element. Frequently, vegetarians and chronically depressed individuals have been found to have low zinc status.

INDICATIONS

Zinc Lozenges may be a useful nutritional adjunct for individuals who wish to increase their intake of zinc.

  • ...but it just brings to light that this is the first time we've had to deal with that and I really appreciate how great you run your pharmacy. Normally that was a weekly or almost daily thing with some of the other compounders. So thank you so much!

  • Most patients don't realize that there is a vast difference in skill and training in compounding pharmacists and thus a vast difference in quality of products compounded and advice given. Ray at Rx Express has the highest quality certifications and ratings and continues his education far above and beyond the minimum requirements. Worth the trip and recommend with the highest regard.
