Zinc Plus Selenium

Zinc Plus Selenium delivers these important minerals in bioavailable forms for maximum effectiveness.

The zinc in this formula is bound (chelated) to the amino acid glycine to help it absorb efficiently and effectively, so you get the most from this essential mineral.

The selenium we’ve chosen for this supplement is a form that is especially known for healthy cellular support, and provides support for healthy immune and respiratory function.

While each of these ingredients supports overlapping aspects of good health, they bring their own unique strengths to the formula as well.

• Supports Immune Strength and Upper Respiratory Health: Zinc supports healthy white blood cell activity for immune function, works with selenium to support healthy lung capacity and is a required nutrient for the thymus gland, a critical organ of the immune system. Selenium supports a healthy immune response and bronchial function through multiple pathways.
• Healthy Inflammation Response: Zinc is a critical structural component of muscles, ligaments, and tendons. It provides support for a healthy inflammation response.
• Protects Cells from Oxidative Damage and Supports Healthy DNA replication: Zinc preserves the body’s own antioxidant protection for healthy cells. Selenium may reduce the risk of certain cancers. Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of selenium may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. However, FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and not conclusive.

Why is it important that the zinc in this formula is chelated?

A “chelate” is a bond between a mineral (often called “inorganic”) and a molecule structure, called a “ligand” that helps the body absorb the mineral during digestion. The amino acid glycine makes an excellent molecule to help carry minerals through the intestinal wall, because it is so small it can be easily absorbed, which facilitates the absorption of zinc as well.
