Zinc lozenges

Zinc lozenges are easy for everyone to use; whether at home, in the office, or on the go! These tasty lozenges have a nice lemon/orange flavour. The lozenges ensure a of active ingredients to the mouth and throat mucosa, where they provide support immediately. It's an ideal product for anyone looking to support their immune system in a simple and effective way!

These lozenges contain zinc, and are also supplemented with an optimal amount of vitamin C and a citrus bioflavonoid complex standardised to hesperidin. These ingredients complement each other very well. Bioflavonoids (flavonoids) are polyphenols that, like vitamin C, are widely found in vegetables and fruits. These bioflavonoids work together with vitamin C, increasing the biological availability of vitamin C in the body.

Immune System
Vitamin C and zinc contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system. It's good to use during the winter months or at other times when you feel you could use some extra support. Vitamin C also increases the absorption of iron from food, providing the body with extra iron. Iron, like vitamin C and zinc, also contributes to a good immune system.

Antioxidative Function
Zinc and vitamin C are antioxidants. This means they protect healthy cells and tissues from oxidative stress. These oxidatives (caused by UV radiation and air pollution, for example) can cause oxidative damage to cells in the body. Another added benefit of vitamin C is that it has the ability to convert vitamin E (also an antioxidant) back into its active form, maintaining the activity of vitamin E.

Broad Functionality
Zinc is present in all body tissues and thus has a very broad functionality. In addition to this, zinc also plays a role in various processes in the body, such as cell division, hormone regulation, and acid-base balance. It also plays a role in the normal build-up and breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and DNA. Zinc also supports eye health; it plays a role in the functioning of the retina and helps maintain sharp vision (in the dark). In addition, zinc is beneficial for male fertility; it contributes to the production of sperm cells and ensures good sperm quality. Both vitamin C and zinc are good for memory, concentration, and mood. Zinc is also very useful in stressful situations as it contributes to normal stress resistance.

Last but not least, zinc and vitamin C are also valuable for beauty lovers! Vitamin C and zinc nourish the skin from within, helping to maintain a normal structure and function of the skin. Vitamin C is important for collagen formation, which helps to strengthen the skin. This ensures the skin of the face and body becomes softer, more supple, and smoother, reducing the visible signs of ageing. Zinc also contributes to hair health; it supports normal hair and keeps your hair strong and shiny! Nails also benefit from zinc, which contributes to beautiful strong nails. Vitamin C and zinc are excellent to use alongside other beauty products such as a collagen powder. However, with prolonged use of zinc, we do advise monitoring your copper intake.

Zinc and Copper
Zinc and copper are antagonists (opposites). Prolonged daily intake of 50 mg or more zinc per day can lead to low copper status. This is not desirable, but too high a copper status is also undesirable. These lozenges contain 12.5 mg of zinc per daily dose and no extra copper. This product is designed for short-term use (two to four weeks). If you are looking for a zinc product suitable for long-term use, the Zinc Bisglycinate is a good option, as copper is also added there.
