Vitakruid Zinc Methionine & Copper Gluconate 90

Vitakruid Zinc Methionine & Copper Gluconate
Zinc and copper in the most biologically available forms
Zinc-Methionine is the only form of zinc that does not bind to phytate, oxalate, or tannins. Binding to any of these anti-nutrients significantly reduces absorption. Moreover, Vitakruid has added copper in the form of gluconate to this formula. Copper gluconate is the biologically available copper salt of D-gluconic acid and the best-absorbed form of copper available.

Copper added to ensure balance
The title may suggest something like this, but in addition to zinc, we have also included copper in the formula of Zinc-Methionine & Copper. Balance is the word on which the effectiveness of our mineral balance relies. Like on a scale, the different elements in our body are continuously weighed. The minerals we know have various relationships with each other. For instance, zinc and copper have a so-called synergistic effect. This means that the elements have both a stimulating and inhibiting effect on each other. It is therefore important to always supplement the synergistic elements together to prevent imbalances.

Zinc is referred to as the most important trace element
Perhaps zinc is the most important trace element for our human body. The complete body contains about two to three grams of zinc, most of which is found in the large muscles. Here, the essential trace element is quickly depleted, which means zinc stores must also be adequately replenished. Therefore, consuming zinc-rich food daily is the advice, and this seemingly simple advice is largely ignored. Not intentionally, the agricultural development of recent decades has simply led to our fruits and vegetables containing as much as 60% fewer vitamins and minerals than 20 years ago. Additionally, vegetarians and vegans form a risk group for insufficient zinc levels. Plant-based zinc is poorly absorbed by the body compared to animal-based zinc sources. Therefore, zinc supplementation is recommended for a larger group than one might initially assume.
