SUPPLIER: PHYSIOLOGICS (PLS)

PLS55083 Zinc Plex 32mg 60C/Zinc+Copper 7.99
DETAILS:
Zinc is one of the most important of all min-
erals. It is found in every cell in the body
and it is an integral component of over 200
enzymes. Highly concentrated in red and white
blood cells, it contributes to the proper
functioning of a number of hormones, including
growth and sex hormones. For example, zinc has
been shown to support healthy levels of the
hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Zinc's role
in supporting healthy levels of this hormone is
significant, because only half of all men be-
tween the ages of 40 and 60 have optimal DHT
levels.
PhysioLogics has formulated Zinc Plex based on
the latest research. Zinc Plex combines three
zincs chelated with three different amino
acids: L-arginine, L-glycine, and L-histidine.
The first, zinc arginate, is included because
L-arginine is found in high quantities in the
male reproductive tract. Zinc arginate has been
shown in animal studies to increase zinc levels
in the male reproductive organs more effective-
ly than other forms of zinc. The second form of
chelated zinc, zinc histidine, was developed so
that the zinc and L-histidine could work coop-
eratively to enhance the effectiveness of one
another. Zinc or L-histidine alone can cause a
decrease in the other's levels, so they are
combined to safeguard the benefits of both. The
third form of chelated zinc is zinc glycinate,
which has been shown to help increase zinc lev-
els throughout the body. Finally, copper has
been included in the formula because higher in-
takes of zinc can affect copper absorption, and
zinc and copper work best when balanced.
Zinc also offers powerful support for the im-
mune system, antioxidant metabolism, energy
metabolism, and synthesis of DNA and RNA. Al-
though severe zinc deficiencies are rare, re-
search indicates that many Americans may not
get the zinc they need.
