Tri-Zinc is formulated with the best carrier compounds available. By using Histidinate,
Glycinate and Monomethionate carriers you can be sure Tri-Zinc may have the

Beneficial Effects of Zinc:
Because zinc is involved in so many chemical reactions and enzyme systems (Approximately 200 currently known), the beneficial effects of zinc are extensive.
Adequate zinc is necessary for proper thymic function,
- T cell count and overall white blood cell function.
- Zinc is necessary for healthy sensory function (smell, taste and vision). Zinc
is important for healthy macular function.
- Zinc benefits proper sexual function, being necessary for proper male sex hormone
regulation, sperm health and prostate health
- Zinc is required for proper cell division and plays a critical
role in proper fetal development.
- Adequate zinc is necessary for healthy skin.
- Zinc has antioxidant effects and supports healthy levels of Copper-Zinc Super
Oxide Dismutase (Cu-Zn SOD). This may explain Zincs beneficial effects on inflammatory
arthritis individuals.
- Enzymes involved in DNA replication, repair and transcription contain zinc.
- Zinc is important for healthy brain and neurological function.
- Zinc may help prevent copper toxicity.
