Zinc Balance by Jarrow Formulas is a dietary supplement containing 100 vegetarian capsules. Each capsule provides an optimal combination of zinc and copper in a 15:1 ratio. This formulation is designed to support immune function, antioxidant defense, and overall health.

The primary ingredient, zinc, is present in the form of Zinc L-methionine, a highly absorbable and bioavailable form of zinc. Each capsule contains 15 mg of zinc per serving. Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in numerous biochemical pathways, including enzyme function, DNA synthesis, and cell division. It is crucial for proper immune system function and wound healing.

Copper is included in the form of copper gluconate, at a dose of 1 mg per capsule. Copper is another essential trace mineral necessary for the formation of red blood cells, absorption and utilization of iron, and the maintenance of nerve cells and the immune system.

Zinc Balance is presented in vegetarian capsules, suitable for those following a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. The product is free from wheat, gluten, soybeans, dairy, egg, fish/shellfish, and peanuts/tree nuts. This ensures suitability for individuals with various dietary restrictions and sensitivities.

The proper balance of zinc and copper is crucial because long-term high doses of zinc can interfere with copper absorption and metabolism. Jarrow Formulas has formulated Zinc Balance to provide the appropriate amounts of both minerals to avoid potential imbalances and support optimal health.

Adults are advised to take one capsule per day or as directed by a healthcare professional. It is recommended to take the supplement with food for better absorption and to reduce the likelihood of gastrointestinal discomfort.
