Supports gastric health. Relieves gastrointestinal discomfort by reducing digestive tract inflammation. Promotes wound healing and antioxidant defense. Peptic-Care ZC provides patented support for reducing gastrointestinal discomfort by reducing digestive tract inflammation. Zinc-carnosine has a slow dissociation rate and adheres to the stomach membrane. Once dissociated, zinc and carnosine promote gastrointestinal comfort by maintaining healthy cytokine release and reducing inflammation in the gut. Studies have suggested that this combination has greater effects on gastric membrane integrity than either ingredient alone. Inflammation of the digestive tract can increase intestinal permeability and cause epithelial damage, affecting the integrity of intestinal tight junctions and villi. This can lead to microbial imbalance and gastrointestinal discomfort. A Japanese, double-blind, multicenter study of 299 subjects described a positive effect of zinc carnosine on objective and subjective parameters of gastric health, particularly after eight weeks. Seven other clinical evaluations involving over 550 volunteers yielded similar results. Most notably, one study reported that zinc carnosine maintained healthy intestinal permeability, which is associated with gastrointestinal comfort. The formula also contains vitamin C, an antioxidant, to promote healing by contributing to collagen formation.
