Zinc Citrate

Why Choose Zinc Citrate?

More and more we are seeing zinc's ability to maintain a healthy immune system(1) and is in Dr Nigel Plummer's Top 4 Nutrients For The Immune System. 

10mg per day has been shown to reduce the incidence of coughs and colds, although the evidence is not robust. However, if you begin to supplement with 20-30 mg of zinc at the onset of illness, this has been shown to reduce the duration of symptoms by 30%. So, you do not necessarily need to supplement every day, only when you begin to experience symptoms.

Zinc is important for the formation of white blood cells. An insufficient intake of zinc, you then have less capacity to produce these immune cells. It is estimated that 30% of the world’s population does not intake sufficient levels of zinc. This is seen particularly in the ageing population.
