Zinc contributes to normal immune system function, protects cells from oxidative stress, supports normal cognitive function, while vitamin C contributes to normal nervous system function and reduces tiredness and fatigue. In addition to supporting weakened immunity, zinc with vitamin C, which is involved in collagen formation, plays a crucial role in maintaining the quality of hair, skin, and nails. Zinc also enables many other positive effects, including contributing to normal fertility and reproduction, maintaining normal vision and bones, normal metabolism of vitamin A, and normal protein synthesis. Zinc plays an important role as it is essential for the activity of carbonic anhydrase, an enzyme crucial for maintaining acid-base balance, which is considered a priority for overall health.

Foods high in protein such as oysters, red meat (pork, lamb, beef), and eggs are rich sources of zinc. Zinc is also present in plant-based foods: whole grains, seeds, legumes, nuts, brewer’s yeast, and mushrooms such as shiitake and reishi, as well as algae like chlorella and spirulina. Zinc absorption after meals ranges from 10-40%, while on an empty stomach, absorption rates increase to 14-79%.
Zinc deficiency often occurs in individuals who consume large amounts of alcoholic beverages and do not consume meat. Additionally, zinc is a part of proteins responsible for taste recognition, so weakened taste and smell are common symptoms of deficiency in this mineral.
Zinc acts as an enzyme cofactor, helping with collagen synthesis and DNA repair, which can help skin look younger and healthier. In addition, zinc can reflect harmful UV rays and for this reason can often be found in sunscreens!

It is recommended to take 1 capsule daily with plenty of water.
Zinc Chelate Complex contains a combination of as many as 4 different highly absorbable forms of zinc chelate, ensuring high bioavailability. Production takes place in Croatia under strictly controlled and certified conditions following HACCP and ISO standards. The capsules are of plant origin, suitable for vegetarians. In addition to four different forms of zinc, the product contains active substances of natural origin – rosehip fruit extract (a natural source of vitamin C), shiitake mushroom extract, and chlorella algae extract (natural sources of zinc minerals). ZINC AND VITAMIN C: contribute to normal immune system function ZINC AND VITAMIN C: contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress ZINC: contributes to normal cognitive function VITAMIN C: contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue VITAMIN C: contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system
Chlorella is a green algae that, in addition to containing a high percentage of zinc, also contains high concentrations of iron, calcium, and magnesium. It is an excellent source of vitamin B12, vitamins A, C, and E, niacin, chlorophyll, copper, and selenium. It supplies our body with chlorophyll more than any other food, making it a powerful blood cleanser and detoxifier. Due to its high content of omega-3 unsaturated fatty acids, it lowers “bad” (LDL) cholesterol levels. It is believed to strengthen the immune system, improve digestion, and protect against degenerative diseases. Research has shown that the intake of dietary supplements containing chlorella during periods of intensive training stimulates the production of immunoglobulin A (IgA), important for maintaining proper immune system function. The immune-stimulating effect of this algae is attributed to glycoprotein and polysaccharide complexes, which have been shown to enhance immune function and potentially prevent upper respiratory tract infections (source: European Journal of Nutrition).
Shiitake mushrooms are edible fungi originating from East Asia and are the highest source of zinc among all plant species (containing an average of 7.6 mg of zinc per 100 grams). It is believed that shiitake mushrooms help improve the body’s immune defenses and have powerful anti-inflammatory effects. They are well-known in traditional medicine, where they are used as a folk remedy believed to aid in colds, enhance resistance, and promote circulation. Shiitake mushrooms contain an active substance called lentinan, which is the backbone of beta-glucans known for their strong immune-stimulating properties. Shiitake mushrooms are actively researched in laboratories worldwide, continually demonstrating new positive effects on overall health. They contain twice as much fiber, protein, and carbohydrates compared to many other edible mushrooms.
The best source of vitamin C is considered to be fresh fruits and vegetables because they provide a complete, natural source of vitamin C that includes rutin, bioflavonoids, tyrosinase, coenzymes, and other components. Vitamin C obtained from rosehip fruit extract is rich in water-soluble plant pigments that participate in numerous biological processes and enhance the body’s utilization of vitamin C. Vitamin C derived from a natural source remains active for up to 48 hours.
Antioxidants are substances that protect cells from free radicals and oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is a normal consequence of energy metabolism, and without oxidative stress, there would be no immune response. The body can defend against oxidative damage and free radicals using its own defense systems, but excessive exposure to polluted air, sunlight, poor diet, smoking, alcohol, and natural aging processes can disturb this balance. Therefore, our bodies have an increased need for antioxidants.
Zinc deficiency often occurs in individuals who consume higher amounts of alcohol and do not eat meat. Zinc is part of proteins responsible for taste recognition, so impaired taste and smell are common symptoms of zinc deficiency.
