DESCRIPTION
With its Zinc Citrate, Swanson offers a high-quality health food supplement that is easily assimilated by the body.
Zinc citrate is a compound formed by the combination of zinc and citric acid. This essential mineral contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system . Its good bioavailability ensures efficient absorption by the body. This mineral is appreciated by both strength athletes and endurance sports practitioners. Zinc is mainly found in meats, seafood, legumes, nuts and seeds.
Swanson Zinc Citrate is manufactured by reacting zinc oxide with citric acid dissolved in water. The reaction produces zinc citrate, water, and, in the case of zinc carbonate, carbon dioxide. After the reaction, the mixture is filtered to remove impurities, and then the solution containing the zinc citrate is concentrated by evaporation. The zinc citrate is then crystallized by cooling the solution, the crystals are collected by filtration or centrifugation , and then dried to obtain a powder that is packaged for distribution.
