Verifiable Science

This patented, 1:1 chelate of zinc and l-carnosine provides a unique configuration that accounts for this compound's unique functions in the G.I. tract.Zinc-carnosine has a slow disassociation rate and adheres to the stomach lining, allowing for prolonged protection.¹ Once dissociated, zinc and carnosine provide synergistic antioxidant protection, support the stomach's mucosal defenses, buffer gastric acid and maintain healthy cytokine release.² Studies suggest that this combination is more effective in maintaining the integrity of the gastric lining than either ingredient alone.³ One Japanese multi-center, double-blind study involving 299 subjects reported improvements in objective and subjective parameters of normal gastric health and repair, especially after 8 weeks of daily supplementation.⁴ Seven additional clinical evaluations involving over 550 volunteers reportedsimilar results. In vitro and in vivo studies show thatzinc-carnosine supports cellular repair in the intestine by maintaining healthy cell reproduction and villous function.⁵ In a double-blind, randomized, crossover trial, zinc-carnosine maintained healthy gut barrier function.⁶ Extensively studied and utilized in Japan, this zinc-carnosine combination has an excellent safety profile.^‡
