PhysioLogics has formulated Zinc Plex based on the latest research. Zinc Plex combines three zincs chelated with three different amino acids: L-arginine, L-glycine, and L-histidine. The first, zinc arginate, is included because L-arginine is found in high quantities in the male reproductive tract. Zinc arginate has been shown in animal studies to increase zinc levels in the male reproductive organs more effectively than other forms of zinc. The second form of chelated zinc, zinc histidine, was developed so that the zinc and L-histidine could work cooperatively to enhance the effectiveness of one another. Zinc or L-histidine alone can cause a decrease in the other's levels, so they are combined to safeguard the benefits of both. The third form of chelated zinc is zinc glycinate, which has been shown to help increase zinc levels throughout the body. Finally, copper has been included in the formula because higher intakes of zinc can affect copper absorption, and zinc and copper work best when balanced.

Zinc also offers powerful support for the immune system, antioxidant metabolism, energy metabolism, and synthesis of DNA and RNA. Although severe zinc deficiencies are rare, research indicates that many Americans may not get the zinc they need.
