L-OptiZinc with 30 mg, 120 capsules

WOSCHA L-OptiZink: a special zinc mixture with additional copper.

For healthy skin and strong hair, to prevent hair loss and premature greying. Everyone wants beautiful, smooth skin and full, shiny hair, as these characterise our external appearance. A good supply of the trace elements zinc and copper is crucial for this, as they significantly promote the healthy development of skin and hair. WOSCHA L-OptiZinc with copper:

  • Helps to maintain normal skin.
  • Protects skin and hair from damage caused by sunlight.
  • Promotes strong hair growth.
  • Counteracts hair loss.
  • Can slow down the greying of hair.

Zinc and copper are also important for our immune system and play a role in energy metabolism. Zinc promotes skin renewal and is involved in cell division and DNA formation. Copper is important for haematopoiesis and the normal functioning of our nervous system.

L-OptiZinc: very easily absorbed by the body - very effective.

The special, protected zinc formula is a 1:1 combination of zinc and the amino acid methionine. Our body can absorb methionine particularly well, which also benefits the associated zinc. The zinc-methionine combination fights superoxide radicals more than twice as well as zinc gluconate and almost twenty times better than zinc oxide. The effect is even more pronounced for hydroxyl radicals. Compared to OptiZinc, L-OptiZinc is around 30% more effective against aggressive oxygen compounds and superoxide anions. It reduces DNA damage caused by free radicals around 40% more effectively.
Zinc-methionine promotes the formation of certain immune cells (monoblasts, promonocytes, monocytes and macrophages), which are crucial for our immune system and cell resistance.

WOSCHA L-OptiZink has special properties:

  • It also contains copper citrate, which the body can absorb well.
  • Zinc and copper are contained in a perfect ratio of 10 to 1.
  • No additional substances are included.
  • The product is suitable for vegans.
Zinc and copper: important for healthy skin and hair

Without zinc and copper, we would quickly look old. This is because a lack of zinc and copper can lead to pale, grey skin, dull, thin and brittle hair, hair loss and blemished skin. These two substances protect us from harmful influences and help to generate energy in the body. This promotes beautiful skin.
Copper strengthens the hair and gives skin and hair their colour. This colour also protects us from UV rays. As copper is involved in the formation of connective tissue, it contributes to a normal skin appearance.Important: Zinc and copper can hinder each other's absorption into the cells. Too much zinc can reduce copper absorption and vice versa. It is therefore important to take them together.

If the body is severely deficient in zinc, it is most important to supply it with more zinc. For this we suggest a pure zinc supplement without copper, for example WOSCHA Zinc Citrate or WOSCHA Zinc e with vitamin C.

Comparison of our two zinc chelates

We have 2 products with zinc chelates on offer, Woscha L-OptiZink and Vitals Zinc Bisglycinate. What is the difference?

Zinc chelates, the better zinc

Metals such as iron or zinc cannot simply be absorbed in pure form. It would be impossible for the intestine to absorb the necessary milligrams of minerals from zinc or iron pieces, that seems logical, even without studying biology.
So they have to be absorbed in the form of chemical compounds that the intestine can absorb. In the blood or in the cells, the body can then do what it wants with the metals after it has dissolved them out of these compounds.
There are chemical compounds that are more suitable and those that are more or less suitable. You can often experience this immediately after consuming the capsule, some quickly lead to nausea.
This is particularly familiar to people who have to take cheap quality preparations from the pharmacy because the doctor is not familiar with these differences. Such unlucky people often have this problem with zinc or iron.

Chelates are among the best compounds. Firstly, they are generally very well absorbed by the body and secondly, they avoid side effects such as nausea or intestinal complaints.
Chelates are compounds of metals or minerals with amino acids.

Zinc bisglycinate and L-zinc methionine

As far as zinc is concerned, we have products that contain zinc bisglycinate or L-zinc methionine. These are two different organic zinc compounds in which zinc is linked to different amino acids:

  • Zinc bisglycinate: Here, a zinc atom is linked to two glycine molecules. This form is very well absorbed by the body and is particularly mild to the stomach.
  • L-zinc methionine: In this compound, zinc is bound to the amino acid methionine, which contains sulphur. This variant is often used in special treatments (such as for the skin) because of its ability to ward off free radicals and its good usability.

Important differences at a glance

Zinc bisglycinate:

  • Binding partner: Two glycine molecules (simplest amino acid)
  • Chemical structure: Zinc complex (double)
  • Special feature: Very well tolerated, avoids competition with other minerals in the intestine

L-zinc methionine

  • Binding partner: L-methionine (amino acid with sulphur)
  • Chemical structure: Zinc complex (often simple)
  • Speciality: Often sold as OptiZinc and is said to remain in the body for a particularly long time.

Both are high-quality organic forms of zinc and are much better absorbed by the body than inorganic forms such as zinc oxide or zinc sulphate.

High-quality formulations from the Netherlands

Podo medi's products are significantly influenced by the naturopathic experience of its co-founder Wolfgang P. Schallmey.
