L-OptiZinc, a patented 1:1 complex of zinc and 100% natural methionine, the amino acid that is best absorbed by the body and serves as an antioxidant. Studies show that L-OptiZinc is absorbed better, retained longer and is more effective than ordinary zinc supplements tested, and resists binding with dietary fiber and phytate, organic compounds that inhibit zinc absorption. L-OptiZinc is the only high-potency zinc supplement FDA-approved safe for human nutrition.
