Overview
UltraZin is an innovative formulation containing Sucrosomial® Zinc that ensures adequate zinc intake without side effects.
Encapsulated in a Sucrosomial® coating, zinc oxide passes through the gastric environment without interacting with the mucosa or other nutrients and is absorbed in the intestine.
The human body requires regular zinc intake; the daily requirement ranges from 2 to 10 mg depending on age and conditions such as pregnancy. In the body, zinc is distributed in muscles (60%), bones (30%) and skin (4–6%), and it plays a role in immune function, protection against infections and antioxidant activity.
Applications
Sucrosomial® Zinc is suitable for a very wide range of products and applications.
Key features
UltraZin’s patented Sucrosomial® Zinc contains 42% zinc and has a protective phospholipid coating. Unlike common zinc salts, which have low absorption and a poor taste, this structure provides high intestinal absorption and a good taste profile.
Sucrosomial® Technology is an innovative delivery system that increases the absorption and tolerability of micro- and macroelements. It allows active ingredients to pass through the gastric and intestinal environment without interacting with the mucosa or other nutrients; absorption takes place at the enteric level and the substance passes directly into the bloodstream.
Improved absorption: Better absorbed by the body than traditional forms.
Excellent tolerability: Minimizes the side effects commonly associated with mineral supplements.
Reduced interaction: Lowers the interaction between minerals and other active ingredients.
Neutral taste: Provides a neutral taste that enhances consumer compliance.
Mechanism of action
Zinc oxide is encapsulated in a Sucrosomial® coating. Thanks to the protective phospholipid coating, the mineral passes through the gastric environment without interacting with the mucosa or other nutrients.
Absorption takes place at the intestinal level and zinc enters the bloodstream directly.
Compared to common zinc salts, which have a low absorption rate and a poor taste, this pathway provides both high intestinal absorption and a good taste profile.
