Zinc Carnosine
Why Choose Practitioner-Grade Zinc Carnosine? Formed from the combination of elemental zinc and the amino acid L-carnosine, this unique compound provides benefits that go far beyond standard zinc supplements. Zinc L-carnosine is specifically celebrated for its profound ability to heal and protect the mucosal lining of the stomach and intestines. It acts as a foundational tool for addressing leaky gut, soothing gastric irritation, and supporting overall gastrointestinal integrity.
Comprehensive Gut & Immune Benefits Our carefully vetted collection is formulated to support resilience in the GI tract and beyond:
-
Mucosal Healing & Barrier Support: Directly supports the structural integrity of the gut lining, helping to soothe irritation caused by daily stressors, diet, or the physical demands of intense athletic training.
-
Stress Resilience: Emerging research demonstrates that Zinc Carnosine helps boost heat shock proteins, promoting cellular resilience against physical and environmental stress.
-
Immune System Modulation: By supporting the gut barrier (where the majority of your immune system resides) and providing elemental zinc, it offers robust daily immune support.
Pepzin GI
I also like it in the gut-healing shake product known as GI Benefits Davinci which combines zinc carnosine with L-glutamine and other herbal extracts known to support gut health naturally.
Intake of zinc carnosine may range from 75-150mg twice a day. 75mg of zinc carnosine yields roughly 16mg of elemental zinc.
If zinc carnosine makes you feel nauseous, it may be a sign that you need to balance the zinc intake with copper.
We use Copper Glycinate by Pure Encapsulations to support copper levels when supplementing with zinc carnosine. The most common ratio is 15mg zinc to 1mg copper. If taking zinc carnosine 75mg twice a day, this yields 32mg of elemental zinc (plus any zinc in other supplments), 2mg of copper glycinate in 1 capsule would support the 15mg:1mg ratio very closely.
