Poliquin - Uber Zinc Px

UberZinc Px provides two forms of highly absorbable zinc that can be used to correct a zinc deficiency. It may deliver extra immune support to overcome an acute illness such as COVID-19 or the flu. Zinc plays a vital role in the body’s antioxidant defences and is necessary for the brain, reproduction, and metabolism. Zinc supports peak physical performance, playing a role in energy production, protein synthesis, and recovery from training. 

UberZinc or Zinc Essentials?
UberZinc Px provides highly absorbable zinc chelates that can be used to correct a zinc deficiency. It is also great for extra immune support to overcome an acute illness such as COVID-19. For long-term use, try Zinc Essentials, which provides zinc, copper, and selenium. The body needs copper with zinc to produce the antioxidant superoxide dismutase. Taking zinc by itself can deplete copper, leading to imbalances between the neurotransmitters dopamine and epinephrine.

What Makes UberZinc Different?
UberZinc uses chelates that are easily absorbed in the GI tract. Zinc orotate and zinc aspartate are superior to inexpensive zinc salts found in typical products, making them better utilized and retained in body tissues to support SOD antioxidant status and the body’s immune defences. These chelates are also Krebs cycle intermediaries and they can be incorporated into the energy systems to offset fatigue. They promote neurotransmitter balance to help overcome depression, anxiety, and stress.
