As we head into the back to school season and the weather begins to change, it’s a good time to support your body through the transition. That’s why we have chosen Zinc Citrate as our Product of the Month. Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in a wide range of biological processes, including those related to immune support, cognitive function and metabolism. Whether you’re preparing your family for the classroom or adjusting to cooler, unpredictable weather, Zinc Citrate can be a reliable part of your daily wellness routine.
So what is Zinc Citrate?
Metabolics Zinc Citrate is a highly bioavailable form of zinc, meaning it is easily absorbed by the body. It is bound to citric acid, which enhances its solubility and absorption. Zinc is an essential mineral that supports numerous biological functions, including immune defence, cognitive health, and metabolism.
Zinc is naturally found in various foods, including:
✔ Animal-Based Sources - Meat, shellfish, dairy, and eggs (better absorbed)
✔ Plant-Based Sources - Legumes, seeds, nuts, and whole grains
Zinc from animal sources is absorbed more efficiently than from plant-based foods due to phytates, which inhibit zinc absorption. Fermenting, soaking, or sprouting grains and legumes can help improve absorption.
Why is Zinc Important?
- Contributes to immune system function
- Plays a role in cell growth and repair
