Zinc Charge
Are You Running on Empty?
Zinc is a foundational mineral and one of the most common deficiencies in the world. Experts estimate nearly 2 billion people, roughly 25% of the world’s population, don’t get enough.
Diet isn’t the only reason. Dr. Jockers explains that modern life depletes zinc in several ways:
- High-sugar, high-carb diets disrupt blood sugar signaling, making zinc harder to absorb
- Gut issues often mean poor mineral absorption
- Phytic acids in grains and legumes bind zinc
- Regular NSAID use depletes zinc levels
- Stress burns through zinc at a faster rate, raising your daily need
If your diet is solid and you’re still falling short, your biochemistry may be the reason.
Why Choose Zinc Charge?
- High-quality, potent zinc in 20 mg capsules
- Enhanced absorption. Zinc Charge is a fully reacted, proprietary TRAACS® amino acid chelate, with zinc bonded to two glycine molecules to help it cross the intestinal wall and reduce interference from phytates and competing minerals
- Helps balance your immune system and reduce immunological stress
- Supports gut health, including a healthy gut lining
- Supports hormone production, neurological function, wound healing, taste acuity, and nutrient metabolism
Why Zinc Matters for Immune Health
Zinc is critical for keeping the Th-1 and Th-2 arms of your immune system in balance. It potentiates interferon alpha, a protein that inhibits viral replication, which improves immune coordination.
It is also a key component of superoxide dismutase (SOD), a powerful intracellular antioxidant that helps protect your cells.
Zinc also helps keep inflammation in check. It binds to a protein in the NF-kB pathway, your body’s inflammatory “switch,” and helps shut the pathway down on schedule. Without enough zinc, that pathway can stay overstimulated and contribute to chronic inflammation.
What Is The Recommended Dosage?
Normal Dosage: 1 capsule – 1x daily with food
Advanced Dosage: 2 capsules – 1–2x daily with food
When introducing a new supplement, we recommend taking the lowest dose for 2-3 days. As tolerated, increase the dose until you have reached the recommended normal or advanced guidelines. Reduce to a tolerable dosage if adverse effects occur.
Zinc and Copper: Keep Them in Balance
Zinc and copper work as partners, but they also compete. Each helps regulate key pathways in your body, and the balance between them matters as much as the amount of either one.
- Copper can build up. Unlike zinc, copper can accumulate in the body at toxic levels. Zinc is stored only briefly in the blood and bone and is quickly excreted, so it needs regular replenishing.
- Zinc helps keep copper in check. In the right proportions, zinc blocks copper in food and in the body from being absorbed.
- Food gives you both. Zinc-rich foods like meat, seafood, nuts, and pumpkin seeds are also high in copper, so a nutrient-dense diet tends to supply them together.
- Ratios matter. Nutritional biochemist Dr. Paul Eck recommends a copper-to-zinc intake ratio of about 1:8. When testing, Dr. Jockers looks for plasma zinc to be equal to or slightly higher than serum copper (a ratio of roughly 1 to 1.2).
Important Safety Information
- Taking more than 100 mg of zinc daily can cause problems, especially without additional copper.
- Even 50 mg of extra zinc daily without copper may lower copper and iron stores in some people, particularly alongside a high-meat diet.
- Stay within the recommended dosage, and don’t combine multiple zinc products without guidance.
