In vitro and in vivo studies show thatzinc-carnosine supports cellular repair in the intestine by maintaining healthy cell reproduction and villous function.5 In a double-blind, randomized, crossover trial, zinc-carnosine maintained healthy gut barrier function.6 Extensively studied and utilized in Japan, this zinc-carnosine combination has an excellent safety profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReferences:\u003cbr\u003e1.
