Viridian Zinc Citrate

Viridian Zinc Citrate is a pure and highly bioavailable zinc supplement providing zinc in the chelated citrate form, which is widely recognised for its superior absorption and gentle action compared to other zinc salts such as zinc oxide or zinc sulphate. Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions and is required for the proper function of virtually every system in the human body, making it one of the most important minerals for overall health and wellbeing.

Zinc contributes to normal immune function, serving as a critical nutrient for the development, maturation, and activity of immune cells including T-lymphocytes, natural killer cells, and macrophages. It supports both the innate and adaptive immune responses and has antiviral properties that make it popular for supporting immune health during colds and respiratory infections. The mineral also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, normal synthesis of DNA and proteins, normal fertility and reproduction, and normal testosterone levels in the blood.

For skin health, zinc plays a key role in wound healing, collagen formation, and the regulation of sebum production. It is frequently used in the natural management of acne and other inflammatory skin conditions due to its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, alongside its role in supporting the normal functioning of the skin's immune response. Zinc also contributes to normal vision, normal cognitive function, normal carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism, and the maintenance of normal hair and nails.

Zinc citrate is selected for its combination of good bioavailability and gentle tolerance profile, making it suitable for daily use without the gastric irritation sometimes associated with other zinc forms. Contains 100% active ingredients, no artificial fillers, and is suitable for vegans. Produced in the UK to Viridian's strict ethical standards.
