OptiZinc 30mg Zinc Methionine Sulfate Comple

Zinc methionine is a highly bioavailable form of zinc that supports immune function, hormone production, skin health, vision, and muscle growth.

Usually low in cadmium, zinc monomethionine is better absorbed and better utilized by the human body compared to all other forms of zinc including zinc picolinate (excellent absorption), zinc citrate (good absorption), zinc acetate (good absorption), zinc gluconate (good absorption, always lowest in cadmium, and gentle on the stomach), zinc carbonate, zinc oxide, and zinc sulfate (can cause stomach irritation). Both ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and methionine (monomethionine) help the human body get rid of cadmium, which on average is 20 times more plentiful in one multi-mineral tablet than one zinc tablet. [I suspect that dolomite (calcium magnesium carbonate), which is in your kid's rock collection and was once used in most multi-mineral and multi-vitamin pills, is very high in cadmium. Calcium carbonate appears to be OK with respect to cadmium. Japanese natto, which is very high in vitamin K2/MK-7, vitamin K2/MK-8, nattokinase, soy isoflavones, soy saponins, vitamin PQQ, and vitamin C, is also low in cadmium and very high in every mineral listed on your multi-mineral supplement. Wheat germ and shiitake mushrooms are both low in calcium but very rich in all other beneficial minerals]. The food in the typical daily American diet contains about 15 times the amount of cadmium contained in the average zinc tablet. Smokers inhale large amounts of cadmium. Also, chocolate, seaweed, and sea salt are high in cadmium. If taken within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms, zinc reduces the duration and severity of the common cold. Zinc is found in high concentrations in the retina and the amount declines with age so zinc supplementation may help reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration. Zinc also helps heal acne and cold sores, improves overall immunity, and is used to treat people with an impaired ability to taste. Some people believe that together with selenium and vitamin C, zinc might help the human body to slightly more rapidly detoxify itself of mercury, lead, arsenic, and other unwanted metals. Other people believe that men, but not women, drain themselves of zinc regularly and need to replenish their supply. It's difficult to get even half of the Recommended Daily Value of zinc from eating all foods that are considered moderately high in zinc. However, oysters are an extremely, extremely rich source of zinc, containing much, much more zinc than one OptiZinc tablet. No other food contains anywhere near as much zinc as one OptiZinc tablet. Because they never have sand inclusions, small oysters are worth much more per pound (but not priced any higher) than large oysters, which frequently have sand inclusions. Swallowing more than one OptiZinc tablet per day could cause a severe copper deficiency. OptiZinc tablets were made to be swallowed, not chewed. If you accidentally chew an OptiZinc tablet, you will very likely experience an unpleasant, metallic taste in your mouth which won't go away for several hours. People who swallow zinc tablets to minimize the damage from viruses (common cold, influenza, pneumonia, HIV, HPV, herpes, shingles, hepatitis, meningitis, Epstein-Barr, dengue fever, malaria, etc.) and/or bacteria (gum disease, diarrhea, wounds, etc.) can greatly improve their results by also swallowing at least 2,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily, by drinking olive leaf tea, and by eating shiitake mushrooms. Some people also use fucoidan capsules, Korean red ginseng capsules, and/or benfotiamine capsules to improve their immune defenses.

I started taking this to help with acne and it really has made a big difference. It has really calmed down how oily I am.

I wish I had known about this when I was a teenager! I've taken numerous supplements over the years that were supposed to help with various minor health issues and never really noticed a difference. That was until I tried this for my mild-moderate adult acne. I'm in my early 30s, female, on hormonal birth control since I was 20, with most of my acne on my chin. I recently read an article that said the location of your acne can help identify the cause of it, and that chin acne - specifically the deep, painful cystic type that takes forever to go away like I had - was a sign of a hormonal cause. This wasn't surprising to me, as I initially started taking the hormonal birth control to regulate my highly irregular cycle - also a sign of hormone imbalance. I saw definite improvement in my skin when I started on the birth control, but still would almost always have at least one or two cystic blemishes at any given time. For me to go more than 2-3 days with completely clear skin was extremely rare despite a good skincare regimen. I started doing some research on supplements that could help with hormonal acne and saw that zinc (and this type of zinc, specifically) had been shown to help. For the price, I figured it was worth a try. I've certainly spent more than that on other acne treatments. After about 6 weeks of taking this supplement once daily, I can honestly say my skin has never been this consistently clear since I was a young child! I really am shocked that it has made such a difference. I've had a few small, superficial blemishes pop up on my chin (I have a habit of resting my chin on my hand which I know is not good for keeping the skin there clear) but I have not had ANY cystic acne at all, and the small ones have cleared up quickly. I have not changed anything else about my skincare routine. I take one of these tablets daily with a meal. They are small and easy to swallow. I have not noticed any side-effects. The price is very reasonable. I really can't say a bad thing about this.

You guys I hardly ever give products reviews but let me tell y’all, this supplement was recommended by my esthetician I had server inflamed adult acne ,cystic, redness just a total pain. I did not immediately take these since I had forgotten about purchasing these. My skin journey has been a long one but I can honestly say as soon I remembered and purchased these I kid you not these helped tremendously on speeding up the process with my SKIN! Health! I recommend 100 percent & they are beneficial for you in other ways as well. Please purchase. I will say I can not tolerate these on an empty stomach I’ll get nauseous so take with a little snack or something.
