NICAPUR® Mehrwert-Zink® – Three organic zinc compounds with vitamin C, activated vitamin B6 and L-cystine

Additional product information

NICAPUR® Mehrwert-Zink® combines three selected organic zinc compounds: zinc citrate, zinc bisglycinate and zinc picolinate. The formula is rounded off with vitamin C, activated vitamin B6 in the form of pyridoxal-5'-phosphate and the sulphur-containing amino acid L-cystine.

Zinc is an essential trace element and contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails.

Vitamin C and vitamin B6 also support the normal function of the immune system. The carefully balanced combination is suitable for the targeted supplementation of daily zinc intake.

Zinc – important for the immune system and cell protection

Zinc is one of the essential trace elements and is involved in numerous enzymatic metabolic processes.

It plays an important role in the normal function of the immune system, cell division and DNA synthesis.

In addition, zinc contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and supports the maintenance of normal skin, hair, nails and vision.

Since the body cannot produce zinc itself, a regular supply through the diet is required.

Three organic zinc compounds

NICAPUR® Mehrwert-Zink® contains three different zinc compounds:

• Zinc citrate: Organic compound of zinc and citric acid with good bioavailability.

• Zinc bisglycinate: Zinc compound in which zinc is bound to the amino acid glycine.

• Zinc picolinate: Organic compound of zinc and picolinic acid.

All three compounds are used to supplement zinc intake.

The combination of different zinc compounds offers different chemical binding forms. However, this does not automatically demonstrate a fundamentally better absorption compared with a single suitable zinc compound.

Vitamin C for the immune system and collagen formation

Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

In addition, vitamin C supports normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage and blood vessels.

NICAPUR® Mehrwert-Zink® contains vitamin C in the form of calcium L-ascorbate.

Activated vitamin B6 for nerves and energy metabolism

Vitamin B6 contributes to the normal function of the nervous system, to normal energy metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

It also supports the normal function of the immune system and normal homocysteine metabolism.

NICAPUR® Mehrwert-Zink® contains vitamin B6 as pyridoxal-5'-phosphate, a biologically active coenzyme form.

L-Cystine – sulfur-containing amino acid compound

L-Cystine consists of two cysteine molecules linked by a disulfide bridge.

Cysteine is a component of numerous proteins produced by the body, including keratin, which is found in hair and nails.

L-Cystine complements the vitamin and mineral combination of NICAPUR® Mehrwert-Zink®.

Zinc for skin, hair and nails

Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails.

It is also involved in normal protein synthesis and cell division.

The combination with vitamin C, vitamin B6 and L-cystine complements the targeted zinc supply.

Important notes

Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake amount.

Zinc: A long-term excessive zinc intake can impair copper absorption and lead to copper deficiency. The EFSA has set a tolerable upper daily total intake level of 25 mg zinc for adults.

When other zinc-containing food supplements are taken at the same time, the total zinc intake should be taken into account.

Interactions: Zinc can impair the absorption of certain medicines, in particular some antibiotics and penicillamine. Appropriate dosing intervals must be observed.

Vitamin B6: With longer-term excessive intake, peripheral nerve damage may occur. The total vitamin B6 intake from various preparations should be taken into account.

Storage

Store at room temperature, dry and protected from light. Protect from heat and keep out of the reach of small children.
