Pharmacology

Zinc is a vital mineral that participates in over 80 enzymatic reactions essential for metabolic, cellular, and immune functions. Zinc bound to orotic acid, as in Zorate 60 mg, has enhanced absorption and bioavailability. Its antioxidant and anti-free radical properties help protect cells from oxidative stress, support wound healing, and contribute to proper hormone activity, including growth hormone and reproductive hormones. Zinc also plays a critical role in immune system function, DNA synthesis, protein metabolism, and sensory functions like taste and smell.

Dosage and Administration

• Adults: One tablet twice daily with meals

• For best results, continue supplementation until zinc levels normalize or as advised by a healthcare professional
