Zinc mono-L-methionine sulphate – a highly bioavailable form of zinc.

Zinc is an essential trace element that plays a structural, biochemical and regulatory role in the human body. Our body cannot store zinc as efficiently as it does certain other minerals. Although most zinc is found in our skeletal muscles and bones, these stores are not immediately accessible for essential bodily processes. As we do not have active reserves that the body can rely on, we are dependent on a regular daily intake.

We can achieve this to some extent through our diet, or by taking supplements. Zinc is found primarily in animal sources such as beef, lamb, seafood, eggs and dairy products, whilst legumes, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, nuts and whole grains are also good sources.

Support your body with zinc – from immunity and fertility to beauty.

This versatile mineral is particularly renowned for its contribution to the normal function of the immune system and the protection of cells from oxidative stress – it is an antioxidant.

But its roles do not end there, as it also contributes to:

• the maintenance of normal skin, hair, nails, and bones,
• the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood,
• normal fertility and reproduction,
• normal macronutrient metabolism (carbohydrates, fats, acids, bases, vitamin A),
• normal protein synthesis,
• normal cognitive function,
• the maintenance of normal vision,
• normal DNA synthesis and has a role in the process of cell division.

Each capsule provides a daily intake of 15 mg of zinc.

OnEnergy brand capsules contain zinc in the form of mono-L-methionine sulphate, which is considered one of the most advanced and highly bioavailable forms of this mineral. This is a specific form in which zinc is bound to the amino acid L-methionine in a 1:1 ratio, with a sulphate group added.

The advantages of this form are:

• High bioavailability – due to its chelated form (binding to an amino acid), it is absorbed significantly better than conventional inorganic forms (e.g. oxide) and is also retained in the body for longer.
• Resistance to absorption inhibitors – phytates in plant-based foods and dietary fibre do not hinder its passage into the bloodstream, which is crucial for vegans and vegetarians.
• Synergistic antioxidant action – the combination of zinc and L-methionine offers stronger protection for cells against oxidative stress.
• Better digestive tolerance – it is gentler on the stomach lining and is less likely to cause nausea, which is common with other forms of zinc.
