What is OptiZinc®? OptiZinc; from Bulk™ is a specific form of Zinc that has been designed to increase bioavailability, by binding Zinc with Methionine. As a registered form of Zinc, OptiZinc; ensures the absolute highest rate of bioavailability compared to other generic versions of Zinc – so you know you are getting the very best.
Zinc itself is an essential trace mineral that has a whole host of benefits, from contributing to the maintenance of normal test levels in the blood, to contributing to the maintenance of normal skin and even to contributing to normal protein synthesis. Deficiency in Zinc has also been shown to be detrimental to physcial performance; so for any hard training individual – it's a must!
Where is OptiZinc® found?
OptiZinc® is a specific, registered form of Zinc. Foods high in Zinc include beef, peanuts and oysters. Performance BenefitsSeveral studies, from as early as the eighties, have found that Zinc levels can be compromised in hard training athletes. Zinc is involved in the activity of over 300 enzymes; as such, deficiency can be detrimental to performance. It's important, then, for anyone that trains on a regaulr basis, to ensure they are consuming sufficient Zinc to support these processes.
In terms of performance, Zinc also contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism, including normal protein synthesis, which is the biological process that enables cells to build specific proteins. In addition, Zinc also contributes to normal cognitive function, which may be of benefit for anyone taking part in a sport that requires a high level of concentration and/or skill.
Interestingly, Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal test levels in the blood. This has obvious benefits for males, both inside and outside the gym.
Health Benefits For many active people, the health benefits of supplementation can often take a back seat. Fortunately, Zinc has both performance and health benefits. Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system, which is particularly important as immune function can often be compromised in hard training athletes.
Zinc also contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and protection of cells from oxidative stress.
