NOW Foods – L- OptiZinc – 100 Vegetable Capsule(s)
Provide Powerful Immune Support and Promote Healthy Enzyme Function
This powerful NOW Foods supplement utilizes the unique function of zinc to support full body health. Zinc plays an essential role in promoting overall strength of the immune system, as well as the skeletal, neurological and endocrine systems. Along with this crucial support, zinc also plays a role in the function of various enzymes. These enzymatic reactions are essential to a variety of different functions, such as protein and carbohydrate metabolism, RNA and DNA synthesis, as well as intercellular signaling. The benefits of this powerful mineral are further enhanced with the addition of copper and the amino acid Methionine to support optimal absorption and usage with each daily serving. Each serving of NOW Foods L- OptiZinc is made with GMP Certified processes and cruelty free techniques. In addition, each capsule is free from many common allergens, creating a safe source of support with various dietary restrictions. Just one capsule each day is all you need to support the health of your entire body.

Love this product. I was dealing with something akin to chronic fatigue syndrome for a year or more, and then it got bad. I could barely function or get out of bed. Got blood work done to see if there was something wrong, it came back clean. So I researched supplementation and came across Zinc (among others). This brand came highly recommended so it was my first go at it. Of all the supplements I took (Ubiquinol, D3, Power Greens, B12, Magnesium) it was the only one that had any noticeable effect, and it was like night and day. I slowly worked the supplements into my regimen, spacing them out by a week so I could track the effects. Nothing worked, and Ubiquinol and Magnesium actually had a negative effect.
Anyways, when I got to Zinc the effects were immediate. The next morning I felt like I’d gotten a good night’s rest for the first time in a long time, and that feeling continued. I tried pairing it with Magnesium (as seems popular) but I went right back to feeling in the dumps, so I stopped that. I’ve been taking this Zinc supplement for about 8 months now and I love it. And every once in a while I forget to take it before bed and I know immediately in the morning that I forgot because I feel like dung.
I still take my D3 because it does no harm and it’s probably good behind the scenes, but I’ve scuttled all the others and just make sure to take my Zinc every night (after dinner/before bed). I’ve heard that it’s bad to take it on an empty stomach because it can cause extreme discomfort, but I’ve never experimented with that, and I’ve never felt discomfort after taking it a few hours after dinner so I’m sticking with that formula. It’s noteworthy that this product comes with Copper in it, because the word is that Zinc supplementation can gradually cause a Copper deficiency, so they’ve added the proper amount of Copper here to make up for that. Excellent stuff. I’ve bought a number of bottles of this product, and even gifted some to family. It’s one of the best lifestyle changes I’ve made in the past decade, by far. Love it. Will keep coming back and I don’t know what I’d do without it. Thank you! Highly recommended.

This is a small gelatin capsule that I take daily for bone health. I take it at lunch away from my morning calcium since they compete.

An affordable and wonderful way to boost the immune system.

Everything is great about this product except the capsule has no marks or labeling. I take another vitamin that is exactly the same shape, size and color, and discovered the issue when I bumped my daily container and they came out into my lap. I had to throw them away because I couldn’t distinguish the difference.

In these uncertain times, zinc is a trusted friend. L-Optimized Zinc from NOW Foods is working wonders. I have yet to come across a better zinc vitamin.

Thank you NOW Foods for a great absorbable Zinc option, including copper which is important to take with Zinc, for a reasonable price. Perfect for COVID time. Much appreciated!

Especially in this time..

It’s has a strong smell, but it’s ok.

Really good product. Also for those asking why it contains copper; 4+ weeks of taking zinc will deplete your body’s copper stores so it’s needed to not create a counter disturbance in levels

I love NOW products. They’re headquarter I’m Bloomingdale illinois which is down the street from me, all there products are high quality with no real proprietary blends. This product comes with zinc monomethionine, a very absorbable form a zinc, unlike zinc oxide for example. The reason why I’m giving this product 3 stars is cause it’s coupled with copper, which I’ve read inhibits the absorption of zinc, so I’m not too sure why they would include that in this? I bought two bottles before finding this out, I will continue to use until I run out, but I would not purchase again. I recommend taking this on an empty stomach before bed, or 2 hrs after your last meal.

My dog’s dermatologist recommend it for my dog but for some reason he vomit every time I gave him one so I decided to stop using it.
Joanne Meserve –
great product.

The smell is normal. Get over it. The stomach upset some people have is because zinc reacts with stomach acid and can make people nauseas etc. Do take with some food or milk or whatever. Excellent form of zinc, highly recommended.
