GN Laboratoris Zinc Citrate is a zinc dosage form that has a very high bioavailability.
Zinc is an essential mineral for the body, which in other words means that the body cannot function without food or supplements, as zinc is a component of over 300 vital enzymes in the body. Zinc is required for wound healing, the correct functioning of the immune system, protein synthesis, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, the production of important anabolic hormones, and cell growth and division.
Conversely, this means that all of these important body functions are impaired without sufficient zinc intake.
The average diet often does not provide sufficient amounts of zinc to optimally cover the daily requirement, which can be the case in particular with vegetarians. A further complicating factor is the fact that athletes who train intensively usually have an increased need for zinc, which can only be met with difficulty with food alone.
A deficiency in zinc can lead to numerous deficiency symptoms, which can include lack of drive, impaired concentration, reduced immune function, night blindness, disorders of the sense of taste and smell, delayed wound healing, brittle fingernails, hair loss, reduced levels of muscle build-up of the hormones and stretch marks with rapid muscle building .
Bodybuilders and strength athletes also report accelerated regeneration between training units with zinc supplementation, which is probably due, among other things, to the fact that zinc is required to repair training-induced microtraumas and to regulate the level of muscle building hormones.
For strength athletes who use aromatizing anabolic steroids, it could also be interesting that zinc in a dosage of 75 to 150 mg per day can block the aromatase enzyme, which is responsible for the conversion of muscle-building hormones into estrogen. In this context, however, it should be taken into account that zinc accumulates in the body and high zinc doses inhibit the absorption of copper, which is why a zinc dose at this level should only be used for a short period of time.
GN Laboratoris Zinc Citrate is a zinc dosage form that has a very high bioavailability and in this respect is superior to most of the other zinc compounds contained in other zinc supplements available on the market.
Recommended intake: Take 1 tablet daily, preferably with a meal.
