Alpha Tri-Zinc | 100 tablets

Zinc is an essential mineral for normal cognitive function, digestion, blood sugar balance, immune system function, cell division, muscle, skin, hair, nails, fertility, eyes and vision maintenance. Alpha Tri-Zinc contains 3 different forms of zinc to optimize its absorption by the body: citrate, bisglycinate and mono-L-methionine sulfate (OptiZinc®). Zinc linked to methionine is the best absorbable form for the body.

• Strengthens resistance to infections and chronic inflammatory diseases.
• Helps with hair loss and skin problems.
• Supports bone formation, prevention of osteoporosis.
• Important for prevention of facial disorders.
• Increased requirement in vegetarian/vegan diet.
• Free of allergens (gluten-containing grains, soy, milk, egg, fish, crustaceans, celery, mustard, tree nuts, sesame seeds, sulfite, lupin, mollusks and groundnuts).

Use instructions

1 tablet per day, preferably taken with a meal that does not contain bread, pasta or cereals.

Recommendations

• Can be taken long-term. Long-term administration of zinc requires support with a general vitamin and mineral supplement. For optimal absorption, it is best to take your multivitamins and minerals with a meal other than Alfa Tri-Zinc. Eg: Alpha Tri-Zinc in the morning and your multivitamins and minerals in the evening.
• Copper is the antagonist of zinc. Administering zinc at doses greater than 50 mg/day for more than 60 days requires supplementation of 1-2 mg copper/day. You then take zinc in the morning and copper in the evening or vice versa.
• A zinc supplement may decrease the absorption of an anti-inflammatory (such as ibuprofen, naproxen, piroxicam, indomethacin). Do not take these at the same time.
• In pregnancy, folic acid or vitamin B9 is often advised. A dose higher than 1 mg per day increases the need for zinc supplementation.
• Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are advised to take a maximum of 1 tablet of Alpha Tri-Zinc per day.
• Notify your doctor if you are taking zinc along with potassium-sparing diuretics, as they may decrease zinc excretion, or diabetes medications, as zinc may increase insulin release and insulin sensitivity.
