Zinc Lozenge – 23mg with Vitamin C Cherry Flavor – 60 Lozenges

Zinc Lozenge product details

Zinc is one of the most abundant minerals in the human body, and with good reason as it plays a critical role in over 300 enzymatic reactions, including the development and function of immune cells [i].  In fact, several studies have shown that zinc supplementation may reduce the length of the common cold by up to 33% [ii], and it can also significantly reduce the risk of infections and promote immune response in older adults[iii].

Additional benefits of zinc include skin health, metabolism function, DNA synthesis and protein production [iv], [v].

HTN combines zinc with vitamin C in it’s non-GMO, natural flavored lozenge to further improve immune health and boost skin benefits.
