Life Extension – Zinc Lozenges
Zinc is a mineral that stimulates the activity of approximately 300 enzymes, which are substances that promote biochemical reactions in your body. These reactions are essential for the formation of superoxide dismutase, one of the body’s most important free radical scavengers. Zinc also promotes immune function, taste sensitivity, protein and DNA synthesis, insulin production, reproductive organ development and sperm motility. Zinc also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence.
Maintaining adequate levels of zinc is equally important to aging adults. As people grow older, their immune function declines, partly due to the decreasing size and function of the thymus gland. Evidence suggests that zinc may help to maintain healthy function of the thymus gland in elderly people. Scientists have also found evidence that a zinc deficiency in elderly adults may contribute to a decline in immune function with aging, or immunosenescence. These findings suggest that zinc plays a critical role in supporting healthy immune function with age.

love these zinc pellets. I don’t like to take a lot of pills, so these delicious citrus lozenges are a great way to ingest zinc (besides getting it directly from food!). The products of the Life Extension company are of high quality and these zinc lozenges are ideal for helping to support your natural immune system. It tastes great from ingredients I trust.

Good taste and size. I take one every time I feel my throat soaring (incoming cold) and the next day it’s all gone. Zinc really protects against viruses.

These are typical high quality Life Extension supplements. It’s the only formula that keeps colds and flu at bay. Devils in the details. The other zinc is not as effective (if at all) as acetate. Do some research and you will find that this is what works.

This product is a supplement intended to improve health, immunity, quality of life, well-being and mood. I bought it out of curiosity after reading “Vitamin” in the title of the search results. It has fulfilled some essential needs that I had until now: a boost of energy and an elimination of fatigue due to long flights and stress. Life Extension is a recommended brand!

was surprised, they are so small! But I like it, the small size of the pellets makes them easy to eat. The flavor is also surprisingly quite tasty. I love the citrus taste and it’s almost like candy. Makes a nice change from huge tablets. I take it when I have acne to help them go down faster. Zinc is also excellent for maintaining the immune system, so I also give it to my family. Beautiful packaging as always from this brand. Although they are more expensive, I think their products are of good quality, so I’m willing to buy them over cheaper brands.

These lozenges taste great and minimize the metallic taste you often get with zinc supplements. Easier to swallow than other uncoated zinc tablets. I have tried many zinc tablets and they all tend to “get stuck” in my throat before going down leaving an unpleasant aftertaste. These have a slight orange flavor and are more palatable than others I’ve tried.

I bought pills for an 11 year old child. In the cold season, I give it on the manufacturer’s recommendation. The child likes, has a pleasant fruity taste. Helps not to get sick.
