Zinc Lozenges

by RXVitamins

 

WHAT IS IT?

Zinc Lozenges contains Zinc aspartate 46 mg supplying 15 mg of elemental Zinc, a vital mineral. It also contains 30 mg of vitamin C. It is flavored and sweetened with a proprietary blend of honey crystals, natural fruit sugar and wild cherry.

 

WHAT DOES IT DO?

Zinc is an extremely important mineral in the body and is a component of over 300 enzymes which repair wounds, boost immunity, enhance vision, synthesize proteins, help cell division, maintain fertility, fight free radicals (antioxidant,) and prevent prostate enlargement, among many other things.

The average diet does not contain enough Zinc. In fact, consumption of over 3000 calories per day of wild food is usually necessary to get enough Zinc.

 

CAUTIONS

Zinc intake of over 300 mg per day may impair immune function. Do not use high dose Zinc for more than a week or two. Some people have said that Zinc Lozenges may cause nausea or a bad taste in the mouth.

Zinc inhibits copper absorption. Copper intake should be increased if lozenges are taken for more than a few days. Zinc also competes for absoption with Iron, Calcium and Magnesium. Taking Zinc Lozenges for extended periods can cause a mineral imbalance.

N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) chelates Zinc and removes it from the body. Long term users of NAC should supplement Zinc.

Use two lozenges initially, then take one dissolved in the mouth every two waking hours for up to seven days.
