What IS ZINC?

Zinc is an essential trace element that the body cannot produce itself. This means that we have to cover our daily requirement of zinc through food and that too because we only carry a small storage of zinc in our bodies. Since it is not always easy to get nutrient-rich food on the plate in our often busy everyday lives or the need is sometimes increased due to stress, CLAV can protect you from a zinc deficiency. With our zinc tablets, you don't have to worry about your zinc balance.

What do you need zinc for? As a component of many enzymes, zinc is essential for your body's basic functions: whether for wound healing, cell division, regulating your blood sugar level, carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism or strengthening your immune system. Zinc also influences fertility and helps maintain healthy skin, hair and nails.

To ensure that the absorbed zinc is also optimally available, we have chosen zinc bisgylcinate. The zinc chelate complex is very well tolerated and has a comparatively higher bioavailability than other pure zinc nutrients.
