ZINC STRONG
Reduced immunity, loss of hair and/or muscle mass? Zinc Forte is a food supplement based on zinc citrate, combined with cysteine and vitamin B6 to restore an optimal level of zinc.

The benefits
-
Immunity Zinc and vitamin B6 contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system.
-
Muscles Zinc is essential for normal protein synthesis (tissues and muscles) and helps maintain healthy skin, muscles and hair. Folate contributes to the normal synthesis of amino acids.
-
Métabolism Zinc contributes to the metabolism of macronutrients.

Zinc Forte contains bioavailable zinc citrate (derived from natural citric acid) combined with cysteine and vitamin B6. This innovative formula facilitates the absorption and action of zinc. Zinc is involved in many biological processes, including cell growth, RNA/DNA formation and cell differentiation[1]. Zinc is essential for protein metabolism (tissues, muscles), gene expression, enzyme activation and cell membrane protection. It helps maintain healthy skin, muscles and hair. However, up to 30% of the world's population is deficient in zinc [2] and the body cannot produce it itself. Some people (vegetarians, vegans, pregnant women, seniors, etc.) are strongly affected by this deficiency despite a healthy & balanced diet. The cysteine contained in Zinc Forte promotes intestinal absorption of zinc via the enterocytes [3] (cysteine-rich metallothioneins). Vitamin B6 allows the normal synthesis of cysteine and helps its assimilation in many proteins, including keratin (hair and nails). Zinc is involved in the metabolism of vitamin B6 [4]. Zinc and vitamin B6 contribute, among other things, to the normal functioning of the immune system and regulate hormonal activity [5] (fertility).
