As glycine is the smallest amino acid, the whole Meta Zn® – Zinc bisglycinate molecule is small enough to be absorbed through abundant protein absorption channels instead of competing for few mineral absorption channels. The covalent bond is strong enough that it is not affected by stomach acid therefore preventing interactions with the gastro-intestinal lumen, where other forms of zinc may irritate and cause nausea and stomach upsets.\u003csup\u003e4\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeficiencies of vitamin C and zinc severely supress immune response.\u003c\/strong\u003e Low zinc status may increase susceptibility to infectious diseases, such as diarrheal diseases or viral infections, as well as impact both T and B lymphocyte function, and the production of thymic hormone in the thymus.\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e Vitamin C and zinc support epithelial barriers, cellular proliferation and antibody production.\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e Vitamin C is necessary for:\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeucocyte and macrophage functions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeutrophil motility and phagocytosis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntimicrobial activity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInterferon synthesis and antihistamine properties\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChildren need zinc for brain growth and development.\u003csup\u003e4\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc is required for regulating protein synthesis and tissue growth, as well as cellular signalling.\u003csup\u003e4,5\u003c\/sup\u003e During early development, cellular activity may be particularly sensitive to zinc deficiency, which has been shown to compromise cognitive function.\u003csup\u003e4\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeta Zinc with Vitamin C is also used for male health, particularly sperm health and testosterone production.\u003csup\u003e6\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc plays an important role in wound healing and the management of acne.\u003csup\u003e7\u003c\/sup\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eIngredients\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIngredients: Metagenics Meta Zinc with Vitamin C\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach 1.9 g dose contains:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCalcium ascorbate dihydrate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e605mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEquivalent Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZinc amino acid chelate (Meta Zn®- Zinc bisglycinate)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e125mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEquivalent Zinc\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePyridoxal 5-phosphate monohydrate (Vitamin B6)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBetacarotene\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.0mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColecalciferol\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.5µg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEquivalent Vitamin D3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500IU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMetagenics Meta Zinc with Vitamin C is f\u003c\/span\u003eree from dairy protein, lactose, eggs, gluten, wheat, nuts, yeast and soy protein. \u003cspan\u003eMetagenics Meta Zinc with Vitamin C is f\u003c\/span\u003eree from artificial colours, flavours and preservatives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWarnings\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWarnings: Metagenics Meta Zinc with Vitamin C\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWARNING: Contains zinc which may be dangerous if taken in large amounts or for a long period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot to be used in children under two years of age without medical advice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot all cautions and contraindications are listed.
