Zinc Citrate 30 mg – Immunity, Skin/Hair/Nails, Metabolism and Antioxidants for Daily Balance and Cellular Regeneration

Zinc Citrate, 30 mg, Swanson provides a well-absorbed form of zinc – zinc citrate – known for its high bioavailability and good digestive tolerance. Each capsule delivers 30 mg of elemental zinc, equivalent to 273% of the NRV, a concentrated intake for supporting the body’s essential functions: strong immunity, healthy skin, resilient hair and nails, antioxidant protection, efficient macronutrient metabolism, and hormonal and cognitive balance. Zinc is a key micronutrient involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions, protein and DNA synthesis, cellular division processes, and the body’s natural defense against oxidative stress.

Detailed benefits of Zinc (from zinc citrate) – 30 mg (273% NRV)

• Robust support for the immune system

Effective immunity starts with immune cells capable of rapidly recognizing pathogens and coordinating a balanced response. Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system, being indispensable for lymphocyte maturation and the integrity of the skin–mucosal barrier. When zinc intake is adequate, the body can:
✅ Respond more promptly to seasonal challenges
✅ Maintain a coherent cutaneous and respiratory line of defense
✅ Support enzymatic and antioxidant production that limits collateral tissue damage

• Skin, hair, and nails – beauty from within

Zinc contributes to the maintenance of healthy skin, hair, and nails through its central role in protein synthesis and cellular division. It is involved in keratin formation, sebum balance, and skin regeneration processes. Adequate intake may be associated with:
✅ Clearer, more resilient skin with a protected barrier
✅ Hair with a stronger appearance, supported by protein metabolism
✅ Firmer nails with uniform growth and increased strength

• Antioxidant protection and defense against oxidative stress

Zinc helps protect cells against oxidative stress by participating in the structure and function of endogenous antioxidant enzymes.

By stabilizing cell membranes and supporting enzymatic responses, zinc intake:
✅ Reduces the effects of free radicals on lipids, proteins, and DNA
✅ Helps maintain tissue integrity in inflammatory contexts
✅ Supports cellular regeneration by sustaining DNA synthesis and repair processes

• Macronutrient metabolism – energy and metabolic control

Zinc contributes to the normal metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fatty acids, as well as to vitamin metabolism (e.g., vitamin A).

In practice, this metabolic role is reflected in:
✅ Efficient use of glucose and maintaining steady energy throughout the day
✅ Optimal protein synthesis for tissues, muscle mass, and enzymes
✅ Fatty acid metabolism, impacting energy balance and body composition

• Support for protein synthesis and cellular division

Maintaining tissue turnover – skin, mucosa, musculature – depends on smooth protein synthesis. Zinc contributes to normal protein synthesis and plays a role in the process of cell division.

Functional outcomes include:
✅ More coherent tissue regeneration after effort or daily micro-aggressions
✅ Structural stability of collagen and the extracellular matrix
✅ Support for maintaining lean mass in the context of an active life

• Cognitive function and mental clarity

Zinc contributes to normal cognitive function, being involved in neuronal signaling, neurotransmitter synthesis, and the protection of neuronal structures against oxidative stress.

Adequate intake can support:
✅ Concentration and memory during day-to-day activities
✅ Mental resilience in demanding periods
✅ The quality of neuronal processes underlying learning

• Fertility, reproduction, and hormonal balance

Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction and to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood.

Through its role in DNA synthesis and cell protection, zinc:
✅ Supports the quality of reproductive parameters in men
✅ Supports reproductive health in both sexes
✅ Contributes to hormonal balance by intervening in multiple enzymatic pathways

• Bones and vision – structure and perception

Zinc contributes to the maintenance of healthy bones and normal vision.

Alongside its role in vitamin A metabolism and cell protection, zinc:
✅ Participates in bone mineralization and remodeling
✅ Supports retinal functions and visual clarity
✅ Helps the structural stability of supporting tissues

Acid–base and DNA synthesis – foundations for internal balance

Zinc contributes to normal acid–base metabolism and normal DNA synthesis, anchoring the fundamental processes of homeostasis.

By stabilizing protein structures and transcription factors, zinc:
✅ Promotes correct gene expression for regeneration and adaptation
✅ Keeps enzymatic reactions within optimal functional ranges
✅ Ensures the coherence of cellular processes in the face of daily demands

• Why zinc citrate? Bioavailability and tolerance

Zinc citrate is an organic form appreciated for superior absorption and a gentle profile on the digestive tract.

For those seeking efficiency and comfort, this form:
✅ Favors a prompt increase in the body’s zinc status
✅ Is suitable for daily use, easily included in routine
✅ Offers an excellent alternative for those looking for high bioavailability

• Clear concentration: 30 mg zinc (273% NRV) per capsule

Swanson’s formulation provides a concentrated intake useful for multiple support – immunity, skin/hair/nails, metabolism, cognitive function, fertility, vision, bone, and antioxidant protection. The Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) at 273% indicates a substantial amount of elemental zinc, integrated into a well-absorbed form.

• Useful nutritional synergies

For coherent results, zinc works as a team with other nutrients in a healthy lifestyle:
✅ Vitamin A – metabolism supported by zinc, impacting vision and skin
✅ Quality proteins – raw material for synthesis and regeneration
✅ Dietary antioxidants (e.g., vitamins C and E) – complementary in antioxidant defense
These synergies highlight zinc’s enzymatic role in numerous metabolic pathways.

• Suitable for active lifestyles and demanding periods

Whether you’re going through cold seasons, intense projects at work, regular training, or recovery periods, zinc is a discreet yet constant ally:

✅ Supports immune resilience and inflammatory balance
✅ Helps tissue recovery through protein synthesis
✅ Contributes to maintaining energy and mental clarity

Zinc Citrate, 30 mg, Swanson, with 30 mg zinc (from zinc citrate) – 273% NRV – is a smart choice for those seeking solid immunity, quality skin, hair and nails, antioxidant protection, efficient metabolism, support for cognitive function, hormonal balance, and healthy bone and visual structure. A concentrated formula, well tolerated and easy to integrate into a daily routine oriented toward performance and balance.
