ZINC+ (PLUS COPPER)

Zinc and copper are two vital trace minerals that influence nearly every system in the body. They play critical roles in immune function, brain health, digestion, genetic expression, and energy production. Maintaining the right balance is key, as an excess or deficiency of either can lead to dysfunction.

THE CRITICAL Cu:Zn RATIO

The copper-to-zinc ratio is a crucial factor in overall health. Zinc should always be present in higher amounts than copper to maintain physiological harmony. An imbalance, particularly too much copper or too little zinc, has been linked to neuropsychiatric conditions such as autism, schizophrenia, and mood disorders.

Zinc is the second most abundant trace metal in the body after iron, while copper ranks third. However, zinc concentrations in tissues are significantly higher than copper, reinforcing the need for proper balance.

STORAGE & BIOLOGICAL ROLES

The human body stores between two and four grams of zinc, primarily in muscle and bone, while only seventy-five to one hundred milligrams of copper are stored, mostly in the liver. Zinc is so critical that ten percent of all human genes encode zinc-binding proteins, highlighting its extensive role in cellular function, enzyme activity, and DNA synthesis.

Zinc plays a vital role in immune function by supporting white blood cell activity and inflammatory balance. It contributes to brain health by aiding neurotransmitter function and cognitive performance. It regulates hormones, including testosterone, thyroid, and insulin. It supports digestion by maintaining gut integrity. It is also essential for mitochondrial efficiency, as it plays a role in ATP production and oxidative stress regulation.

Copper, in smaller amounts, is equally important for key processes in the body. It is required for iron metabolism, assisting in red blood cell formation and oxygen transport. It supports collagen synthesis, which is crucial for connective tissue, joints, and skin health. It plays a role in nervous system function by regulating neurotransmitters and myelin formation.

OPTIMAL BALANCE FOR MAXIMUM BENEFIT

Zinc+ is formulated with sixteen milligrams of zinc and two milligrams of copper per serving, providing a physiologically appropriate ratio that aligns with how the body naturally utilizes these minerals. The highly bioavailable chelated forms ensure rapid absorption, effective tissue distribution, and minimal competition for uptake.

A KEY ACTIVATOR OF ANTIOXIDANT DEFENSE

The precise ratio in Zinc+ is essential for activating superoxide dismutase, one of the body's most powerful antioxidant enzymes. This enzyme plays a crucial role in neutralizing oxidative stress, enhancing mitochondrial function, and protecting cells from damage caused by free radicals.

With its highly bioavailable formulation and optimal mineral ratio, Zinc+ provides a science-backed approach to supporting cellular health, cognitive function, immune resilience, and overall vitality. It delivers the perfect synergy of two essential minerals to help the body perform at its best.
