Brain Basics Opti Zinc Plus

Brain Basics Opti Zinc Plus is a comprehensive zinc formulation designed to support the cellular absorption of zinc. Opti Zinc Plus uses a patented zinc chelate along with two proven ionophores to enhance and optimize cellular zinc absorption.  Ionophore literally means “ion carrier”. Zinc is an ionic trace mineral that requires an ionophore to carry it into the cell from the circulation. Both EGCG and quercetin are proven ionophores that have been shown to carry zinc into cells, thus increasing cellular availability and efficacy. This enhanced level of cellular zinc supports a host of defense systems in our brain and body. Zinc is the body’s most abundant intracellular trace mineral with over 200 zinc-dependent processes identified so far. Most notable is the role zinc plays in supporting our immune system and combating viral infections. Neuroscientists have shown a strong relationship between viral infections in the central nervous system and such conditions as depression, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers have also found low cellular levels of zinc in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients creating a strong case for improving cellular zinc status. When zinc levels are restored in patients with reduced cognition, their cognition also improves.

Beyond the role zinc plays in our immune system and nervous system, zinc also has key roles in optimizing:

• Vision
• Smell
• Taste
• Blood sugar
• Stress response
• Skin/Acne
• Prostate
• Sexual Health

Clinical applications

Opti Zinc Plus is a physician-formulated supplement. Zinc is a critical mineral that is involved in hundreds of cellular reactions in our bodies. Maintaining zinc status is more important than ever today however most zinc supplements are poorly absorbed. Opti Zinc Plus solves this issue by combining two proven ionophores-EgCG and Quercetin to ensure the bioavailability of zinc at the cellular level where it can effectively work. In addition to 25 mg of patented chelated Zinc bisglycinate, we balance out this formula with 1 mg of copper (copper bisglycinate) to maintain the Zinc/Copper ratio. Perfect choice for those who are concerned about their immune function, zinc/copper status, neurological health, memory, mood, focus, concentration, and more. *
