Health benefits at a glance:
Zinc supplementation can effectively support the aging immune defense.
Zinc Caps provides a highly absorbable zinc formula containing a 15-milligram dose in each capsule.
Moreover, Zinc Caps is a vegetarian, gluten-free, and non-GMO zinc supplement.
Why it works:
Zinc is well known for its immune health benefits, supporting your body’s natural immune response.
Unfortunately, research shows that zinc deficiency is widespread. (1,2) This can contribute to aging-related decline in immune function.
Adding a zinc supplement to the daily routine can promote the aging immune systems as well as a healthy inflammatory response. (2-5)

Other crucial properties of zinc
The benefits of zinc go beyond immune support:
Zinc plays a key role in superoxide dismutase, one of your body's most powerful natural antioxidant enzymes.
This mineral is required for the activity of over 300 enzymes that carry out essential biochemical reactions in your body. (2,6,7)
Furthermore, zinc is essential for hormone production and regulate protein and DNA synthesis, insulin production, as well as thyroid and bone metabolism. (6,8)
Zinc also promotes neurological health and vision, especially for older people. (7,9,10)
A bioavailable formula
The absorption of zinc can be limited, and specific compounds in plant sources and grains can inhibit absorption even more. (11)
Zinc Caps contains a combination of highly bioavailable OptiZinc® and zinc citrate to provide a 15 milligram dose of zinc. OptiZinc® is a bioavailable form of zinc. (12,13)
