Uses and Benefits

Zinc is an essential mineral the body cannot store, so it has to come from food or a supplement every day. Purezen uses zinc citrate, a form the body absorbs well.

Zinc supports normal immune function. It is one of the few minerals with a well established role here, which is why it appears across four Purezen formulas rather than just one.

Zinc supports normal skin, hair and nails, and plays a part in hormonal balance and fertility. That breadth is why it sits in RootCause, HerBalance, ThyroFix and OxiShield alike.

Each of ThyroFix, OxiShield, HerBalance and RootCause gives 13.2 mg of zinc per 2-capsule serving, which is 100% of the daily requirement. It comes from zinc citrate.

ThyroFix, OxiShield, HerBalance and RootCause: one capsule after each of two meals. Taking zinc with food is easier on the stomach.

Each of these already gives the full daily requirement, so do not take two of them together without speaking to your doctor.

Every batch comes with a Certificate of Analysis, a lab report confirming what is inside. The finished product is also tested at a NABL-accredited lab for heavy metals and microbes. See the current batch report on the ThyroFix page.

Speak to your doctor first if you are pregnant or nursing, take regular medication, or already take a zinc or multivitamin supplement. Do not exceed the recommended dose, as high zinc intake over time can affect copper levels. Keep out of reach of children.
