NFH Zinc SAP, 60 Capsules

Zinc SAP uses zinc picolinate, a well-absorbed form of the mineral, at 25 mg per capsule. Zinc helps maintain immune function, plays a part in connective tissue formation and healthy skin, and is involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins.

NFH adds 1 mg of copper to each capsule because long-term supplementation with higher doses of zinc can lower copper levels, and the small amount helps keep the two in balance. The bottle holds 60 vegetable capsules. A tidy, two-ingredient formula for people who want zinc on its own.

• 60 vegetable capsules
• 25 mg zinc (from zinc picolinate) per capsule
• 1 mg copper (from copper citrate) per capsule

Zinc SAP contains a highly absorbable form of zinc, called zinc picolinate. Zinc is a mineral that is essential in both innate and adaptive immune function. Zinc is also important to maintain connective tissue formation, intestinal health, and healthy skin. In addition, metabolism of carbohydrates, fat, and proteins to form red blood cells relies on zinc for proper function. Long-term supplementation of high doses of zinc can result in copper deficiency, which is why a small dose of copper is included in Zinc SAP to prevent potential deficiency.
