Product Description Zinc is the second most abundant trace mineral in the body, being present in all tissues. Zinc has a wide variety of functions including growth and human development, the healthy functioning of the immune system and the maintenance of healthy skin, hair, nails and bone. Zinc is also related to the normal absorption and actions of vitamins, especially the B-complex. Food state zinc and copper is presented to the body in a probiotic complex and thus is a gentle and well absorbed supplement complete with amino acids and nutrient carriers from the associated probiotic culture. Food state zinc is combined with copper to prevent a possible risk of copper deficiency during long-term usage. Zinc and copper compete for the same absorption sites and an excess of zinc can ultimately cause a copper deficiency. This supplement is suitable for vegetarians and those with candida and yeast sensitivities. Free from yeast, wheat, starch, gluten, soy, lactose, added colourings, sweeteners and preservatives. Free from genetically modified substances.
