How does zinc L-carnosine differ from ordinary zinc supplements? — Цинк-L-карнозин Evalar Laboratory Гастро, капсулы, 60 шт

In most supplements zinc is present as a mineral salt, such as sulfate, oxide, citrate or gluconate. In zinc L-carnosine the mineral is chemically bound to carnosine, a dipeptide that occurs naturally in body tissues.

This compound is valued above all for good tolerability: the complex form often acts more gently on the digestive tract than some inorganic zinc salts. That is why zinc L-carnosine is considered an alternative to the classic forms, especially by those who have noticed discomfort from other forms of the mineral.

It is important to understand that this is a food supplement, not a medicine. It contains zinc, which takes part in the work of the immune system, protein synthesis, the maintenance of skin and mucous membranes, and the protection of cells against oxidative stress. The supplement does not replace a balanced diet and is not intended for the treatment or prevention of any disease.

If you already take other mineral complexes, take into account the total intake of zinc from all sources: an excess of the mineral is as undesirable as a deficiency. It should not be taken during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or in case of intolerance to any of the components. For chronic illnesses, consult a specialist before taking it.
