Zinc bound in a gentle bisglycinate chelate, easier on the stomach than the sulfate forms sold in bulk, paired here with a small, deliberate measure of copper. The two minerals share the same absorption pathway and compete for it, so a long course of zinc alone will quietly starve the body of copper; these tablets keep them in the fifteen-to-one ratio the body actually needs, in a single small tablet meant for daily use rather than occasional dosing.
Zinc-rich foods have been prized since antiquity, oysters and organ meats chief among them, long before anyone could name the mineral responsible. It is traditionally used to support the immune system, healthy skin, and the ordinary, easily overlooked senses of taste and smell, which are among the first things a body loses when zinc runs low.
One tablet daily, ideally with food, delivering fifteen milligrams of zinc against one milligram of copper. This is a dose built for steady daily keeping, not for short bursts at the first sign of a cold.
Zinc supports the immune system; it does not treat or prevent illness, and persistent immune concerns deserve a physician's attention rather than a supplement shelf. Vegan and additive- free, chelated for absorption. A small, unremarkable tablet doing a great deal of unseen work.
