Zinc Carnosine is a bioavailable zinc chelate of Zinc and the amino acid L-carnosine. Zinc-l-carnosine may help support digestive health as well as assist with relieving heartburn, diarrhea, ulcers, abdominal tenderness, and constipation. It may achieve this by supporting the integrity of the GI tract, promoting secretion of mucus, promoting stomach acid production, preventing inflammatory-induced damage to the GI tract, and reducing ?leaky gut? / intestinal hyper-permeability by regulating the tight junctions of the intestinal lining.

Mastic Gum and Deglycyrrhizinated Licorice DGL are also both specific ingredients for supporting these same gut health goals, and they work in perfect synergy for soothing the GI tract and supporting gastrointestinal health.

Zinc is a key micronutrient that has a multitude of roles in the body beyond gut health; it is well known to support skin health, support the immune system, and combat infections by inhibiting viral replication acting as an anti-microbial. Zinc is also supportive of the motivation neurotransmitter dopamine, as it is a co-factor nutrient in this pathway.

Zinc is also used in the body in the production of testosterone, growth hormone, and insulin-like growth factor-1 while also acting as a mild aromatase inhibitor.
