Studies have found that ionic zinc is apt to be better at helping people recover from colds more quickly than bound forms can be, and some researchers suggest ionic forms may help increase antiviral resistance. This liquid Ionic Zinc complex from Innotech Nutrition Solutions provides an eminently absorbable form which goes down easy with a glass of water.

Studies have found that ionic zinc is apt to be better at helping people recover from colds more quickly than bound forms can be, and some researchers suggest ionic forms may help increase antiviral resistance. This liquid Ionic Zinc complex from Innotech Nutrition Solutions provides an eminently absorbable form which goes down easy with a glass of water.
Product Notes:
Zinc is a mineral we need to keep our bodies supplied with to carry out a wide range of functions, including, of course, immune function. Although present in many foods, you may not be consuming enough of those, and certain populations (such as pregnant women, breastfeeding babies, older adults, those experiencing diarrhea, and those who consume a lot of alcohol) can also have a deficiency.
Of course, a variety of different supplementary forms are available, but many of them are literally wasteful, since they do not get absorbed particularly well.
To provide superior absorption as well as maximum efficiency and flexibility, this Elite Liquid version uses a proprietary high tech process to shrink most of the zinc molecules to tiny electrically charged ions about 1 micrometer (or 1,000 nanometers) in size to begin with, both to bypass the need for your stomach acid to release the zinc ions from their bound forms first before they can get absorbed by the intestines, and also to be small enough to get absorbed by the tissues in the mouth and throat when you first drink it, thereby bypassing the digestive system altogether.
Since it's in a highly concentrated liquid form that gets dispensed by a dropper, this type can be administered in micro-doses of just 0.20 mg of the zinc complex per drop, if desired, enabling you to really fine-tune your dosage.
