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.†

Chromium is a trace mineral that helps potentiate insulin function, therefore helps support carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism. Several studies have shown that chromium helps support glucose levels already in the normal range, in individuals with impaired glucose tolerance. The mechanisms by which chromium works are not completely understood. We know from animal and human studies that when given a chromium deficient diet, we see abnormal glucose metabolism, increased blood glucose, and impaired insulin function. Chromium in the form of chromium picolinate is chromium bound to (chelated to) picolinic acid, a compound that seems to enhance the absorption of chromium which is typically poorly absorbed. Chromium picolinate has been shown to be better absorbed and more bioavailable than chromium chloride, but slightly less than chromium polynicotinate.†



Features
Chromium bound to (chelated to) picolinic acid.
Clinical studies on safety and efficacy.
200mcg per capsule.


Benefits
Studies show chromium picolinate is better absorbed than chromium chloride (non-chelated).†
Research studies show chromium picolinate helps support blood glucose and cholesterol levels already in the normal range.†
Beneficial to individuals who consume mostly refined foods and or have impaired glucose tolerance.†
Some studies, however, not strong, show chromium picolinate may help support lean body mass and reduce body fat.†

CoQ10 is an important component in the energy producing system of the body. It is found in mitochondria, subcellular structures responsible for generating about 95% of the total energy needed
by the human body. CoQ10 is the enzyme that makes this engine work. Its antioxidant activity protects cell membranes, proteins, and DNA from oxidative damage caused by free radicals.
CoQ10 as ubiquinone is a fat soluble nutrient. In order for a fat soluble nutrient to be absorbed, fat must be present. Experts highly recommend that it be taken with other fat soluble nutrients (e.g., vitamin E, lecithin, borage oil, evening primrose oil, EPA, flax seed oil, etc.) and/or with a meal that contains a small amount of fat. Fat free meals significantly decrease absorption of ubiquinone.
