ZINC PLUS Zinc is a trace mineral that is essential for our body. It is found in muscle, our bones, skin, liver, pancreas, and other organs. Next to iron, it is the most available trace mineral in the human body. Zinc helps to boost immunity, repair wounds, maintain fertility, synthesize protein, aid in cell reproduction, and preserve vision. More than 300 enzymes in the body need zinc in order to function properly. A deficiency of zinc may impair the body's immune function. There are many problems associated with zinc deficiency. Initially people have impaired protein synthesis and energy production, poor collagen formation, poor alcohol tolerance, loss of taste and smell, and many pregnancy related problems. Eventually, lack of zinc in your body can lead to reduced T-cell production that results in an increased number and frequency of infections. All of these problems are reversible . . .

Vitamin C is an essential cofactor for enzymes involved in the synthesis of collagen — the chief structural protein in muscles, vascular tissues, skin, bones and cartilage. It also plays roles in the synthesis of hormones and neurotransmitters, in immunity, and in prevention of oxidative damage. Major vitamin C deficiency weakens vascular tissue — a condition called scurvy — and results in widespread capillary bleeding, bleeding gums, and loosening of the teeth. Lesser deficiencies can be caused by insufficient C intake, physical or psychological stress, smoking, alcohol use, and infections. Symptoms include fatigue, lassitude, loss of appetite, drowsiness, insomnia, irritability, and lowered immunity. Vitamin C has a preventive effect on degenerative processes such as cardiovascular disease and cancer; it speeds wound healing, and prevents carcinogenic nitrosamines . . .

Vitamin B12 1000 mcg, plus folic acid by Solaray is in a base of sorbitol and natural cherry flavoring, dietary supplement. Vitamin B12 is needed for normal nerve cell activity, DNA replication, and production of the mood-affecting substance called SAMe (S-adenosyl-L-methionine). Vitamin B12 works with folic acid to control homocysteine levels. An excess of homocysteine, which is an amino acid (protein building block), may increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis and Alzheimer's disease. Vitamin B12 deficiency can cause fatigue, and some research indicates that individuals who are not deficient in this vitamin have increased energy after supplementation of vitamin B12. Ingredients - per lozenge: Folic Acid 400 mcg; Vitamin B12 1000 mcg Other Ingredients: Sorbitol, Natural Flavors and Magnesium stearate

BIOTIN Biotin is one of the eight known B-complex vitamins. It is commonly referred to as Vitamin B7 or Vitamin H and can be found in such foods as liver, yeast, whole grains, soybeans and other meats. In general, vitamins are organic substances found in foods and are essential to the body in small quantities for growth, health and preservation of life itself. The body needs vitamins just as it requires other food constituents such as proteins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals and water. The absence of one or more vitamins from the diet, or poor absorption of vitamins, can cause deficiency diseases. Biotin is essential for carbohydrate metabolism and for the synthesis of fatty acids. It aids in utilization of protein, folic acid, pantothenic acid and vitamin B-12. It is essential for cell growth and replication and is known to promote healthly hair and nails. In the human body, Biotin is . . .
