Peach-Raspberry, 23 mg
Wellness Zinc Lozenges are specially formulated to contain the most active
forms of zinc. Zinc is a trace element that plays a significant role in the
human body. It is involved in normal cell growth and repair and helps support
the body's natural defenses. Natural peach-raspberry flavor has no zinc aftertaste.
Finally, Zinc You Don't Have To Taste
While zinc is an essential mineral to the body's defense system, it can leave
a bad taste in your mouth. In order for zinc to be activated in the oral cavity
and throat, free-form zinc ions must be released. However, these zinc ions have
an unpleasant metallic taste that can linger on your tongue for hours. With
this in mind, the new Wellness Zinc delivery systems are designed to eliminate
the unpleasant taste associated with most zinc products.
Bioavailable Zinc Goes To Work Fast
Both the Wellness Zinc Lozenges and Throat Spray feature zinc in the form of
gluconate, the most efficient, non-binding form, along with ascorbate and amino
acid chelate. These zinc formulas allow for up to 90% of free-form zinc ions
from gluconate to be released in the mouth and throat. The non-binding quality
of zinc gluconate is very important to your body's ability to utilize zinc.
Other formulas may contain citric acid, or mannitol-sorbitol sweetener mixtures,
and as a result do not work nearly as well. That is because these compounds
bind free zinc ions so tightly that very little of it is released into the oral
cavity.
It is important to note that simply drinking citrus juice at the same time as
using either delivery system will have this same "binding" effect.
To further enhance bioavailability, the two delivery systems release the zinc
very quickly to the surfaces of the mouth and throat, where it may be most efficiently
assimilated during the physical stress of winter cold weather.
Zinc & Special Ingredients
Included in each Zinc Lozenge is 30 mg of Vitamin C, long known to be essential
to your defense system, and for nullifying potential free radical damage.
Zinc Throat Spray, in addition to Vitamin C, provides both echinacea and elderberry
in each application. Echinacea is a primary herb containing unique polysaccharide
constituents in sufficient amounts. Elderberry contains anthocyanins, a special
class of bioflavonoids that offer a wide spectrum of antioxidant protection.
