Source Naturals OptiZinc Zinc Methionine Sulfate Complex & Dietary Supplement* - 120 Tablets

Not all zinc supplements are created equal, and OptiZinc uses a patented zinc-methionine complex that is much easier for the body to absorb. I’ve found this to be a reliable part of my daily health routine. The tablets are small and easy to swallow, and with 240 in the bottle, the value is unbeatable. It’s a consistent, high-quality supplement from a brand I trust for purity and potency.

Zinc methionine is a highly bioavailable form of zinc that supports immune function, hormone production, skin health, vision, and muscle growth.

I hope I don’t jinx myself. I started taking these about 3 weeks ago to try and help with acne. I’ve always had “struggled” with acne but about 6 months ago I started getting 3-6 cysts at a time around my mouth and neck area. I was popping approx 6-8 zits a day. My acne had gotten to the point to where not only was it affecting me mentally it was affecting my every day life physically. It would hurt to talk, smile, move my head, wear a scarf, put a blanket up up to my neck etc. Well I’ve been taking these for barely over 3 weeks now and my acne has calmed down. I’ve only had 1 cyst in 3 weeks. I’ve had little breakouts but NOTHING like what I was dealing with before. It’s also only been 3 weeks. When I wash my face at night there’s not 4-8 flared up zits. My skin looks calm after washing now and I just really have like “post acne inflammation” where I have some leftover red spots from previous zits but they have calmed down significantly. They also cover fairly well with makeup. My skin also looks smooth and feels smooth rather than me being able to feel bumps. The zinc was recommended to me to take by my aesthetician that I’m working with since March but I put off taking it because I hate taking pills. Now I wish I would’ve just started taking the second it was offered to me. My acne was affecting me so much that I was on my way to take accutane. I had the appointment set with my dermatologist and already had the pregnancy test done and had my primary care sign off on me to take it. My next step was to do my follow up with dermatologist and get my blood work done to get the prescription. My skin had improved so much within these 3 weeks that I canceled my accutane appointment. Knock on wood but I finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. At this moment, I’m no longer in pain. I can smile, sleep with my face touching the bed, etc etc with no pain. I am hoping to provide an update in about 1-2 months. For reference I’m 5’4” approx 140lbs. I started taking 1 tablet every day for a week. Then I started taking 1 in the morning and at night and this is what I will continue to do until everything calms down. Then I’ll return to taking once a day and then probably every other day etc. I also started taking fish oil approx 2 months ago and a probiotic approx 4 weeks ago. I’ve taken the zinc on empty stomach and have never experienced any side effects from it. I will say, the tablets do kind of smell. I try to hold my breath when taking it because they taste bad lol (but it’s not overwhelmingly bad by any means)

If zinc causes incapacitating stomach ache and bad cramps for hours after taking it, that's a sign of severe deficiency. Homemade sour yogurt was the only thing that worked so that I could take zinc and not get sick. Vinegar didn't work, not most foods. Cottage cheese helps, but not as effective as that yogurt and blackstrap molasses did. After 4 months of taking zinc in different forms, the stomach aches have mostly faded, and this zinc is just more convenient to take than the powdered bulk, which tastes awful. When following the treatment for HPU/KPU (pyrroluria/the mauve factor), whether by the instructions in "In Search of the Mauve Factor I and In Search of the Mauve Factor II" or from Dietrich Klinghardt, MD's HPU 2009 document or his HPU/KPU LIA 2009 presentation on youtube, it will require a lot of zinc (and P5P and manganese, chromium, magnesium and vitamin E-selenium, biotin and oil), and am giving this product 4-stars because the cost needs to be less. When supplementing with zinc-P5P-manganese, the zinc and manganese go back into the bones, and push out the lead, aluminum, mercury and whatever doesn't belong in the bones, back to the blood. As this builds up in the circulation, the signs of toxicity start to appear and it's necessary to use binders to absorb/adsorb the toxic metals in the circulation. Clay (like Pascalite) or cholestyramine work well taken 30 minutes before eating some warm food. Superfine charcoal or zeolite should also work. Cholestyramine works best in combination with psyllium husk to absorb a wider spectrum of toxins. MetalSweep from BioPure has helped, as has "Ultimate Body Detox" by Inspired Nutrition. None of these binders work well when the toxins are still bound up in the fat. The combination of zinc and active B6 (the P5P form) in large doses after a month or two really pushes out the toxins and then these binders do work well. I think that somehow they push out mycotoxin and other neurotoxins, too, from my own experience. Cilantro and chlorella and garlic also work well to take out toxins. NOW Foods vitamin E with selenium was another thing that worked really well AFTER being on the high dose zinc/manganese/P5P regimine for a few weeks. The zinc/P5P is key to getting any kind of detox to work, because it pushes the toxins out of their hiding places to where they can get taken out. So when the detox crises with symptoms returning with a vengeance, that's just the released toxins that need to be absorbed. Use the binders religiously at that point for a week or month and after the toxins are out it will be dramatic.

This zinc is the best! I ordered months ago and have repurchased. The quality of the vitamin is very good and I feel it has made such a difference. Sometimes vitamins I take don’t do anything and I really think this has helped with my oil production, acne and just overall health. Would recommend!!

I took this to reduce acne and inflammation of acne on my face. So far so good. I have been seeing way less pus filled acne, so it's been working well for me. YMMV. One thing you definitely should know before taking this is that you cannot take it on an empty stomach. I had to find out the hard way. I took it on an empty stomach a few times and I was thinking to myself "Why the hell is my stomach hurting so bad". Found out you have to take it with food and since then, no problems.

亜鉛が吸収しやすいかたちで入ってるらしいから続けてます

レビューに2粒とか書いている人もいますが、 1tablet daily with a meal.とパッケージに書かれていますよ。％DVも272％（アメリカの基準で1日の必要量の272％含有）です。 特別な信念や理由で2粒ならいいでしょうけど特に理由もなく1粒以上摂らない方が良いと思います。 with a mealなので食事と一緒に摂りましょう。 ググって出てきたページのコピペですが、 「亜鉛の食事摂取基準（2020年版）では1日の摂取の推奨量は18～74歳の男性で11㎎、75歳以上の男性で10㎎、18歳以上の女性で8㎎ 耐容上限量は18～29歳の男性で40㎎、30～64歳の男性で45㎎、65歳以上の男性で40㎎、18～74歳の女性で35㎎、75歳以上の女性で30㎎」

一粒に対する亜鉛の含有量が海外のほうが多いのでお得です。

元気で過ごす自分の身体のために取り入れたいサプリです。

日本で購入できるサプリだと亜鉛1.3mgのところ、こちらだと亜鉛30mg（一日必要量）なので、コスパが良いです。
