Why is Zinc Important?
Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in hundreds of biological functions throughout the body. It supports the normal function of the immune system, protects cells from oxidative stress, and contributes to healthy hair, skin, and nails. Zinc is also required for DNA synthesis, cell division, and the activity of more than 300 enzymes. However, zinc absorption can be limited, and deficiency is common, particularly among older adults, which may contribute to age-related immune decline and reduced antioxidant protection.
What is Life Extension Zinc 50mg?
Life Extension Zinc 50mg Vegicaps combine two highly bioavailable forms of zinc — OptiZinc® (zinc monomethionine) and zinc citrate — to maximise absorption and biological activity. Each capsule delivers 50mg of zinc in a potent, easy-to-swallow vegetarian formula. This supplement supports the immune system, enzyme function, hormone balance, and antioxidant defences, helping to maintain health and vitality, especially as you age.

FAQs
What makes OptiZinc® different from regular zinc?
OptiZinc® is a form of zinc bound to methionine, which significantly improves absorption and retention compared to standard zinc forms.
Can I take this alongside other supplements?
Yes, but avoid combining with high doses of iron or copper supplements unless advised by a healthcare professional, as they can interfere with zinc absorption.
Is Life Extension Zinc suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, it is a vegetarian-friendly supplement and free from GMOs, gluten, and artificial additives.
Why is zinc important as we age?
Zinc helps counter the natural decline in immune and antioxidant function associated with ageing, supporting overall vitality and resilience.
