Zinc is an essential trace mineral required for numerous biochemical and physiological processes in the body. Zinc is important for healthy functioning of all organs. It is essential for more than 30 enzyme reactions that control a variety of functions. Zinc is an important component of superoxide dismutase (SOD), a major protective antioxidant enzyme. Zinc-dependent enzymes are involved in growth, immunity, and tissue repair.† Zinc is especially important for healthy functioning of the prostate and the male reproductive system, and for normal, healthy immune function.† L-OptiZinc® is a unique, patented form of methionine-bound zinc which has been shown in numerous studies to be better absorbed, retained longer and be more effective than other forms of zinc.†



Features
Provides the trace mineral zinc bound to the amino acid methionine.
Studies show L-OptiZinc® is absorbed significantly better than other forms of zinc.
The only premium zinc supplement FDA-approved safe for human nutrition.
Unlike other forms of zinc absorption of L-OptiZinc® is not affected by dietary fiber and does not have a negative affect on copper absorption/status.


Benefits
Better absorption means greater bioavailability and utilization of zinc.*
L-OptiZinc® helps support antioxidant defenses by helping to increase the activity of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase.†
L-OptiZinc® help support normal, healthy growth, specifically the release and activity of growth hormone requires zinc.†
Studies show zinc is essential for insulin production, therefore is required to support healthy blood glucose levels.†
Numerous studies show zinc is required for normal, healthy immune function.
L-OptiZinc® being better absorbed and retained by the body longer will have a greater impact on immune function.†

Potassium is one of the seven essential macro minerals. The human body requires at least 100 milligrams of potassium daily to support key processes. A high potassium intake reduces the risk of overall mortality by 20 percent. It also decreases the risk of stroke, lowers blood pressure, protects against loss of muscle mass, preserves bone mineral density, and reduces the formation of kidney stones. The primary functions of potassium in the body include regulating fluid balance and controlling the electrical activity of the heart and other muscles. Fast facts on potassium:

Adults should be consuming 4,700 milligrams (mg) of potassium a day. However, fewer than two percent of people in the U.S. consume enough potassium.
Potassium is a balancing electrolyte: many people with problems with sodium may actually require more potassium.
Beet greens, white beans, soybeans, coconut water, and lima beans are the foods highest in potassium.
Potassium deficiency can lead to fatigue, cramps, weakness, and constipation. It can escalate to paralysis, respiratory failure, and painful gut obstructions.


Features
Potassium 99mg 2% (as amino acid complex).


Benefits
May aid in healthy Blood Pressure support and Cardiovascular Health.†
Supports Bone Health and Muscle Maintenance.†
Often helps people with muscle cramps, especially those associated with certain potassium-depleting medicines.†

Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a major role in growth, reproduction, antioxidant defenses, and healthy immune function. Zinc is a critical nutrient for the immune system. The normal, healthy development of immune cells, particularly T-lymphocytes depends upon adequate zinc status. Zinc deficiency has been shown to reduce the physical size of the thymus gland; it is here where T cells mature to become fully functional mature T-lymphocytes. These cells are critical for a healthy immune response. Provided as a lozenge, zinc gluconate has been shown to reduce the severity and duration of the common cold, as well as reduce antibiotic use in school-age children with a cold.†



Features
Provides 15 mg of zinc citrate and gluconate per lozenge.
Contains slippery elm and propolis to soothe the throat.
Pleasant taste from natural lemon flavor and sorbitol.


Benefits
Helps support normal, healthy immune function.†
Provides antioxidant support which is essential to immune function.†
Studies show a reduction in the severity and duration of the common cold.†
Studies also show that prophylactic (preventive) use may reduce the number of colds per year, as well as reduce antibiotic usage.†
Slippery elm is a mucilaginous herb that provides soothing support for the mucus lining of the throat and esophagus, both of which may become irritated during a cold/infection.†

Selenium is an essential trace mineral that is required for many important biochemical functions in the body. In humans, selenium functions as a coenzyme for the antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase. Glutathione peroxidase helps neutralize harmful peroxide free radicals. Selenium also plays an important role in the production of thyroid hormones. Selenium is a coenzyme for the enzymes which are responsible for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. These enzymes are important for the regulation of basal metabolic rate (resting metabolic rate-rate at which you burn calories). Studies show Selen Excell® helps support the body’s antioxidant defenses and contributes to the growth of normal, healthy cells.†



Features
Provides 200mcg of selenium.
Natural form of selenium in 100% organically bound form. Yeast converts inorganic (low bioavailability) forms of selenium into organic (high bioavailability) forms.
SelenoExcell® provides a full composition of seleno compounds including selenomethionine and selenocysteine.
FDA has approved health claims for selenium that indicate it may be helpful in preventing certain cancers.
SelenoExcell® has been selected as the sole intervention agent in a series of cancer prevention (colon, lung, and prostate) and health-related studies.
Based on a Clinical Trial Agreement with The National Cancer Institute, leading research teams have selected SelenoExcell® based on its certification as 100% organically bound selenium and strictly controlled quality and production parameters.


Benefits
Provides a well-absorbed, highly bioavailable form of this important trace mineral.
Studies show selenium works synergistically with vitamin E to provide antioxidant support helping protect healthy cells, particularly red blood cells from free radical damage.†
The broad composition of seleno compounds increases the absorption and bioavailability.
Selenium helps support the functioning of the powerful antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPX). GPX helps neutralize damaging peroxide radicals, which can potentially cause damage to healthy cells and their DNA.†
Studies show a high intake of selenium helps support a healthy prostate by promoting normal, healthy prostate cell growth.†
Adequate intake of selenium helps support normal, healthy thyroid function and a healthy metabolism.†
Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of selenium may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer.†
