Description
Highly absorbable liquid zinc.
Although zinc is a critical micronutrient, the type of zinc in supplements is important to elicit the most beneficial immune response. Some zinc supplements on the market are formulated with zinc oxide or zinc carbonate, which are partially poorly absorbed due to their minimal ionic charge. Zinc sulfate heptahydrate, a hydrated form of zinc sulfate, on the other hand, provides zinc in an ionic form -- the most effective form. This highly absorbable form of zinc provides support for zinc supplementation for a normal immune system.
To distinguish cells that are part of the body's own healthy tissue and cells that pose a threat to the immune system, immune cells interact with each other. For this communication to be successful, the immune cells must have healthy receptors. Ligands, which bind to the outside of the receptor surface and allow it to be activated, are crucial for this process. Zinc works with many ligands to support this complex cell signaling process, an important part of healthy immune system function.
