Zinc Lozenge

Zinc lozenges NSP (art. 1596) is a complex food supplement in the form of lozenges that combines bioavailable zinc, vitamin C, glycine and extracts of adaptogenic plants. In modern conditions, zinc deficiency occurs more often than it seems: chronic stress, monotonous nutrition, high consumption of fiber and refined products reduce its absorption and increase losses. NSP zinc lozenges allow you to maintain the optimal level of this macronutrient in a convenient and tasty way.

Zinc lozenges NSP — what is it and how do they work

Zinc is a macroelement that is part of more than 300 enzymes in the human body. It is directly involved in the synthesis of proteins, including collagen, which ensures skin elasticity, connective tissue strength and rapid wound healing. Zinc is necessary for the formation of bone tissue, cartilage, maintenance of the immune response and hormonal balance. It is part of insulin, superoxide dismutase (a key antioxidant enzyme) and proteins responsible for cell division and reading genetic information (DNA and RNA). With zinc deficiency, resistance to infections decreases, tissue growth and regeneration slows down, skin, hair and nails deteriorate, allergic reactions and impaired taste and smell may appear. The form of tablets for absorption ensures quick absorption of active substances through the mucous membrane of the oral cavity, which is especially important for the initial support of immunity during the cold season or to relieve discomfort in the throat.

Composition and active components of lozenges with zinc NSP

Each tablet (1350 mg) contains a balanced combination of nutrients and plant extracts:

• Zinc (zinc acetate) – 5 mg – a bioavailable form of zinc that is easily absorbed by the body. Supports immune function, collagen synthesis, hormonal balance (especially important for male reproductive health) and antioxidant protection. The dosage allows you to select from 5 to 30 mg of zinc per day, depending on individual needs.
• Vitamin C (ascorbic acid + sodium ascorbate) – 100 mg is a water-soluble antioxidant that works synergistically with zinc. Stimulates collagen production, supports the immune system, enhances zinc absorption and protects cells from oxidative stress. In combination with bioflavonoids, strengthens capillary walls.
• Glycine is a substitute amino acid that participates in collagen synthesis, detoxification processes (binds toxins) and has a mild calming effect on the central nervous system. Glycine improves the quality of sleep, reduces irritability and supports metabolism in brain tissues.
• Bark of rusty elm (Ulmus rubra) – contains natural mucilage, tannins, catechins and flavonoids. It has enveloping, softening and anti-inflammatory effects on the mucous membranes of the throat and gastrointestinal tract. Traditionally used to relieve throat irritation and support digestion.
• Arabinogalactan is a soluble polysaccharide from poplar trees that acts as a prebiotic and immunomodulator. Supports the activity of natural killer cells (NK cells) and macrophages, contributing to the body’s immune response.
• Guar gum (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba) is a soluble fiber that slows down the absorption of sugar and cholesterol from the intestine. Supports a healthy level of glucose and blood lipids, improves digestion.
• Echinacea purpurea root (Echinacea purpurea) is an adaptogen with caffeic acid glycosides and echinacin. Supports the immune system, increases the number of leukocytes, activates macrophages and T-lymphocytes, stimulates the production of interferon. It has antibacterial, antiviral and fungicidal activity.
• Licorice extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra) – contains glycyrrhizic acid and bioflavonoids. It has an enveloping, expectorant, anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic effect. It is traditionally used for diseases of the respiratory tract, supports the function of the pancreas.
• Eucalyptus oil, peppermint, L-menthol – natural components that give a fresh taste, facilitate breathing and create a comfortable feeling when absorbed.

The uniqueness of NSP zinc pastilles is the combination of nutrients and adaptogenic plants that complement each other, enhancing the immune response, tissue regeneration and antioxidant protection of the body.

What research says about zinc and vitamin C

Zinc plays a critical role in supporting immune function. A systematic review of studies (PubMed) found that supplemental zinc may shorten the duration of cold symptoms, especially if taken within 24 hours of the first symptoms. Zinc is necessary for the normal division and maturation of immune cells, the synthesis of antibodies and the regulation of the inflammatory response. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes zinc deficiency as one of the most common causes of immunodeficiency in the world. Vitamin C, as a powerful antioxidant, enhances the effect of zinc and promotes collagen synthesis, which is important for wound healing and vascular strength. Echinacea purple is traditionally used to support immunity, and modern studies confirm its immunomodulatory properties due to the activation of macrophages and an increase in the level of interferon.

These lozenges may be useful for those who:

• tends to support the immune system during the cold season or during increased workloads;
• feels the need for additional support for tissue healing, skin, hair and nail health;

Can NSP zinc lozenges be combined with other supplements?

Yes, lozenges go well with multivitamin complexes, omega-3, probiotics, adaptogens and other NSP products. Zinc and vitamin C do not conflict with most nutrients. However, it is worth considering that high doses of calcium, iron or copper can reduce the absorption of zinc, so it is advisable to take them with an interval of 1-2 hours. When taking several zinc supplements at the same time, watch the total daily dose so as not to exceed the recommended level (for adults – up to 30-40 mg of zinc per day).
