Zinc L-carnosine also acts as an antioxidant that scavenges free radicals and assists the body's own system in restoring healthy gastric cellular integrity.*\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore About Zinc L-carnosine\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc is a critical component to a number of physiological processes in our bodies. Some of these functions include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003egrowth and metabolism of cells,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehealing of wounds,\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emaintenance of carbohydrate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eand maintenace of lipid metabolism. (1)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen zinc is complexed to L-carnosine, it dissociates in the stomach at a much slower rate. This prolonged presence in the stomach allows it to maintain its gastric healing effect over a longer period of time.(1) Zinc\/L-carnosine may also help maintain the bacterial balance of the stomach and GI tract. Studies suggest that the zinc\/L-carnosine compound may have effects on certain strains of harmful bacteria, such as h. pylori, and, therefore, is able to help maintain a GI environment that is favorable to health. By supporting the bacterial balance in the stomach, it can also help maintain a healthy mucosal lining.(1) In an eight-week study, 28 patients with gastric discomfort were given a zinc\/L-carnosine compound and monitored. Improvement was rated on a scale of subjective and objective symptoms. After four weeks, 68.4% were considered to be \"significantly improved.\" After eight weeks, the \"significantly improved\" rating was 68.8%. Over 60% of these patients remained in the \"significantly improved\" category well after the treatment was discontinued, suggesting a lasting effect of the zinc\/L-carnosine compound beyond the time it is taken.(1) \u003cspan style=\"color: #666666; font-size: 8pt;\"\u003e*These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.
