ZINKOSAN^®
(Zinc-Acerola cherry tablets)

• Registered food supplement for zinc and vitamin C.
• Zinc is one of the most important trace elements for human health and along with vitamin C, it plays important role to immune system.
• One tablet contains 15 mg amino acid chelated zinc and 20 mg vitamin C of acerola cherry.
• Several studies have shown that zinc is absorbed at best in the form of amino acid chelate.
• Daily dosage
  1 tablet contains 15 mg zinc, which is equivalent to 100 % of daily need (RDA).
  
  
• Package
  120 tablets / 60 g
  300 tablets / 150 g

Usage

• Zinc is necessary in the diet. Approximately 300 enzymes are known to require Zinc for their activities. Zinc is required for DNA synthesis, cell division and protein synthesis. Several hundreds of Zinc containing nucleoproteins are probably involved in gene expression of various proteins.
• Zinc has catalytic, structural, and regulatory roles in many enzymes, gene transcriptions, hormone receptors, and signal transduction pathways that are essential for human metabolism, growth, and reproduction.
• Zinc also keeps nails, skin and hair healthy.
• Zinc is an antioxidant which protects cells.
• Zinc and vitamin C combined strenthen the immune system and so fight off the common cold sooner.
• symptoms of Zinc deficiency:

  frequent sever infections                 delayed wound healing
  growth retardation, short stature         impaired glucose tolerance
  impotence, infertility                    abnormal menstruation
  poor appetite                             poor skin
  depression and psychiatric disorder       delayed sexual maturation
  anemia
