MST Zinc Chelate Bisglycinate 180 tablets

The chelated form of zinc in MST Zinc Chelate Bisglycinate tablets offers several health benefits compared to conventional zinc supplements, primarily due to improved bioavailability and tolerability.
Benefits of the chelated form (zinc bisglycinate):
* Higher bioavailability: Zinc bisglycinate is an organic zinc compound in which zinc is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. This chelate bond allows for significantly better absorption of zinc in the body compared to inorganic forms such as zinc oxide or zinc sulfate. Studies show that chelated zinc is more effective and can have up to 43% higher bioavailability than zinc gluconate.
* Better tolerability: Zinc bisglycinate is particularly gentle on the stomach. This is beneficial for people with sensitive stomachs, as other forms of zinc, such as zinc sulfate, can cause stomach upset or nausea at higher doses.
* * Protection against interactions: The chelate bond protects the zinc from interactions with other food components, such as phytates, which would normally inhibit zinc absorption. This ensures more efficient absorption, even if the supplement is not taken on an empty stomach.
General health benefits of zinc (which can be utilized more effectively through the optimized absorption of zinc bisglycinate):
Zinc is an essential trace element involved in over 300 enzymatic processes in the body and fulfills a variety of important functions:
* Strengthening the immune system: Zinc supports the activity of immune cells and can improve the body's defenses, which is particularly relevant during the colder months or in cases of susceptibility to infections.
* Skin, hair, and nail health: It contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair, and nails and can help with skin problems such as acne or impaired wound healing.
* Antioxidant effect: As an antioxidant, zinc protects cells from oxidative stress and free radicals, which can cause cell damage.
* Cognitive function: It plays a role in concentration, memory, and mental performance.
* Hormone regulation and fertility: Zinc is important for hormone production and function, including testosterone, and supports fertility.
* Metabolism: It contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism and is involved in insulin production and storage.
* Wound healing: Zinc promotes cell division and wound healing.
* Eye health: It contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.
MST Zinc Chelate Bisglycinate tablets are therefore a good choice for people who want to meet their zinc needs, especially those with increased requirements (e.g., due to exercise, stress, a vegetarian/vegan diet) or sensitive stomachs. It is recommended to take one tablet daily with sufficient liquid, ideally between meals, to avoid absorption being affected by calcium or phytates.

One pack of MST Zinc Chelate Bisglycinate tablets, containing 180 tablets, lasts for 180 days, or approximately six months, when taken at the recommended daily dose of one tablet.

This product is not suitable for children, pregnant women, or breastfeeding mothers. Individuals with pre-existing medical conditions or those under medical treatment should consult their doctor before use. Furthermore, the intake of other zinc-containing supplements should be avoided.

MST Zinc Chelate Bisglycinate tablets are suitable for a vegan lifestyle, as they are manufactured without any animal-derived ingredients. The zinc they contain makes a significant contribution to maintaining healthy skin, hair, and nails. As an essential trace element, it plays a vital role in cell division and protects cells from oxidative stress. By supporting protein synthesis, it also directly contributes to the structural integrity and regeneration of these tissues, resulting in a healthy appearance and the resilience of skin, hair, and nails.

MST Zinc Chelate Bisglycinate tablets use zinc bisglycinate (zinc chelate). This form is characterized by particularly high bioavailability because the zinc is bound to the amino acid glycine. This chelate structure protects the zinc from binding to absorption-inhibiting substances (such as phytates) in the intestine and allows for more efficient absorption through the intestinal mucosa. Furthermore, zinc bisglycinate is considered particularly gentle on the stomach and well-tolerated.
