L-OptiZinc with 30 mg, 120 capsules

WOSCHA L-OptiZink: a special zinc blend with added 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 define our appearance. An adequate supply of the trace elements zinc and copper is crucial for this, as they play a key role in promoting the healthy development of skin and hair. WOSCHA L-OptiZink with copper:

  • Helps maintain normal skin.
  • Protects skin and hair from damage caused by sunlight.
  • Promotes strong hair growth.
  • Counteracts hair loss.
  • May 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 synthesis. Copper is important for blood formation and the normal functioning of our nervous system.

L-OptiZink: highly bioavailable – very effective.

This special, patented zinc formula is a 1:1 compound of zinc and the amino acid methionine. Our body can absorb methionine particularly well, which also benefits the associated zinc intake. The zinc-methionine complex combats superoxide radicals more than twice as effectively as zinc gluconate and almost twenty times more effectively than zinc oxide. In the case of hydroxyl radicals, the effect is even more pronounced. Compared to OptiZinc, L-OptiZink is around 30% more effective against aggressive oxygen compounds and superoxide anions. It reduces DNA damage caused by free radicals by 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 cellular resistance.

WOSCHA L-OptiZink has special properties:

  • It also contains copper citrate, which the body can absorb easily.
  • Zinc and copper are present in a perfect ratio of 10 to 1 .
  • It contains no additional ingredients.
  • The product is suitable for vegans.
Zinc and copper: essential for healthy skin and hair

Without zinc and copper, we would quickly start to look older. This is because a deficiency in zinc and copper can lead to pale, grey skin, dull, thin and brittle hair, hair loss and blemished skin. These two nutrients protect us from harmful influences and help generate energy in the body. This promotes beautiful skin.
Copper strengthens the hair and gives the 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 healthy complexion . Important: Zinc and copper can interfere with 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, the most important thing is to supply it with more zinc. For this, we recommend a pure zinc supplement without copper, for exampleWOSCHA Zinc Citrate or WOSCHA Zinc e with Vitamin C.

Comparison of our two zinc chelates

We have two products containing zinc chelates in our range:Woscha L-OptiZinkandVitals Zinc Bisglycinate. What is the difference?

Zinc chelates: the better form of zinc

You cannot simply absorb metals such as iron or zinc in their pure form. It would be impossible for the gut to extract the necessary milligrams of minerals from tiny particles of zinc or iron; that seems logical, even without a degree in biology.
So you have to consume them in the form of chemical compounds that the gut can absorb. Once in the blood or within the cells, the body can then do whatever it wants with the metals, after it has extracted them from these compounds.
There are chemical compounds that are better suited for this purpose and others that are moderately suitable or less so. You can often tell this immediately after taking the capsule; some quickly lead to nausea.
This is particularly familiar to people who have to take low-quality, cheap supplements from the chemist because their doctor is not familiar with these differences. When it comes to zinc or iron, such unlucky individuals often experience this problem.

Chelates are among the best compounds. With these, one generally achieves, firstly, very good absorption by the body and, secondly, avoids side effects such as nausea or gastrointestinal discomfort.
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 containing zinc bisglycinate or L-zinc methionine. These are two different organic zinc compounds in which zinc is bound to different amino acids:

  • Zinc bisglycinate: In this compound, a zinc atom is bound to two glycine molecules. This form is very well absorbed by the body and is particularly gentle on the stomach.
  • L-zinc methionine: In this compound, zinc is bound to the amino acid methionine, which contains sulphur. This variant is often used for its ability to neutralise free radicals and its high bioavailability in specific treatments (such as for the skin).

Key differences at a glance

Zinc bisglycinate:

  • Binding partners: Two glycine molecules (the simplest amino acid)
  • Chemical structure: Zinc complex (double)
  • Special feature: Very good tolerability; avoids competition with other minerals in the gut

L-zinc methionine

  • Binding partner: L-methionine (sulphur-containing amino acid)
  • Chemical structure: Zinc complex (often single)
  • Special feature: 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 absorbed much more effectively 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. As a naturopath and expert in orthemolecular therapy, he created his own brand WOSCHA dietary supplements, which are based on years of experience and a holistic philosophy. In addition to high quality, effectiveness and good tolerability, WOSCHA products are characterised by a lack of additives, which are added in other preparations for cheaper production. WOSCHA products are made from fresh and genetically unmodified raw materials and are available in their purest form. In addition, podo medi pays attention to sustainable packaging and shipping. For example, the product cans are made of harmless PET and recyclable material. Woscha and natura felix are brands of Podomedi.
