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

Further product information

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

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

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

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.

Furthermore, zinc contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and supports the maintenance of normal skin, hair, nails and eyesight.

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 the zinc supply.

The combination of different zinc compounds offers different chemical bonding forms. However, this does not automatically prove a generally better absorption compared to 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 the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Furthermore, 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, normal energy metabolism and the reduction of fatigue and tiredness.

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 connected via a disulfide bridge.

Cysteine is a component of numerous endogenous proteins, 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 information

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

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.

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

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

Interactions: Zinc may impair the absorption of certain medications, especially some antibiotics and penicillamine. Appropriate time intervals between doses should be observed.

Vitamin B6: Long-term excessive intake may cause peripheral nerve damage. The total vitamin B6 intake from various preparations should be taken into account.

Storage

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