Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in supporting the body's natural immune defense. Research has shown that zinc deficiency is widespread, especially among older people. This deficiency can contribute to age-related immune decline, known as immunosenescence.
Studies have shown that zinc supplements can be an effective way to support the aging immune system and promote healthy inflammatory and antioxidant responses. By providing zinc, one can help improve the immune system and reduce the risk of age-related diseases and infections.
Zinc also has other crucial functions in the body. It is an important component of superoxide dismutase, one of the body's most powerful natural antioxidants. Zinc plays a role in the activity of about 300 different enzymes in the body, promoting vital biochemical reactions. This mineral is also an integral component of essential hormones and supports protein and DNA synthesis, insulin production, and thyroid and bone metabolism. Zinc is also important for maintaining cardiovascular and neurological health as well as vision function in older individuals.
Age-related immune deterioration may be partly due to the thymus gland decreasing in size and function. Studies suggest that zinc can help maintain healthy thymus gland function in older people, which is important for sustaining a strong immune system.
Life Extension has developed a special formulation that combines the well-established, enhanced bioavailability of OptiZinc with zinc citrate to provide a potent dose of 50 milligrams of zinc in each capsule. OptiZinc is a superior bioavailable form of zinc, as it consists of one of the most absorbable forms of zinc, namely zinc methionate (methionine). Studies have shown that OptiZinc results in higher blood levels of zinc compared with other forms of zinc.
