Zinc-L-Aspartate
Ocean Power contains Zinc-L-Aspartate, a naturally occurring delivery form of the micro mineral zinc. This form of zinc is popular both because of its bioavailability as well as being considered gentler on the gastrointestinal tract (GI). Zinc is present in every organ, tissue, and fluid in the body and plays a significant role in many basic functions, including protein synthesis, energy metabolism, hormone-level maintenance, and regulation of appetite, taste, smell, and stress levels.
Zinc is involved in the synthesis, storage, and release of insulin, and studies have suggested that zinc has beneficial
effects on insulin resistance and glucose and lipid profiles in patients with diabetes or metabolic syndrome.
