Zinc Carnosine (PepZin GI®): Gastric Protection, Mucosal Repair and Digestive Comfort – Advanced Support for Intestinal Integrity and Gastrointestinal Balance

Zinc Carnosine (PepZin GI®), Swanson is a dietary supplement specially formulated for supporting gastric mucosal health, maintaining gastrointestinal tract integrity and supporting natural regeneration processes at digestive level. The formula contains the patented PepZin GI® Zinc-Carnosine complex, providing 8 mg zinc and 29.5 mg L-carnosine in a stable form, with targeted action at stomach and upper intestine level.

Gastric mucosa represents the first line of defense against acidity, digestive enzymes and irritating food or medication factors. In conditions of stress, unbalanced diet, anti-inflammatory drug consumption or microbial imbalances, this protective barrier can become vulnerable. Zinc carnosine is a special form that adheres to gastric mucosa, offering direct support for its repair and protection.

Through the synergistic combination of zinc – an essential mineral for cellular regeneration – and L-carnosine – a dipeptide with antioxidant and protective role – PepZin GI® contributes to maintaining a balanced digestive environment and supporting long-term gastric comfort.

Detailed Benefits of Zinc Carnosine (PepZin GI®)

• Supporting gastric mucosal integrity

Gastric mucosa has the role of protecting the stomach against hydrochloric acid and digestive enzymes. When this barrier is compromised, discomfort, sensitivity and irritation may appear.

Zinc Carnosine contributes to:
✅ supporting gastric epithelial cell regeneration
✅ maintaining mucosal structure and cohesion
✅ protecting against acid aggression
✅ supporting natural gastric tissue repair

Zinc plays an essential role in cell division and tissue repair, and its complexed form with carnosine allows prolonged local action at gastric level.

• Support for gastric comfort and reducing sensitivity

Gastric discomfort can appear following irritations, stress or inappropriate diet. The zinc-carnosine complex is recognized for its ability to support local balance and digestive comfort.

Benefits include:
✅ supporting daily gastric comfort
✅ reducing burning or sensitivity sensation
✅ maintaining balanced gastric environment
✅ support for people with sensitive stomach

By supporting gastric barrier integrity, the product contributes to more comfortable digestion.

• Support for natural cellular regeneration processes

Digestive mucosal regeneration is a continuous process, dependent on essential nutrients involved in protein synthesis and cell division. Zinc is a cofactor for numerous enzymes involved in tissue repair.

Zinc Carnosine helps with:
✅ stimulating tissue repair processes
✅ supporting structural protein synthesis
✅ maintaining cellular health at gastrointestinal level
✅ accelerating digestive barrier repair

L-carnosine completes this effect by supporting cellular stability and antioxidant protection.

• Antioxidant protection at gastrointestinal level

Oxidative stress can affect gastric mucosal cells, contributing to its deterioration. L-carnosine is a dipeptide with antioxidant properties, capable of neutralizing free radicals.

This action contributes to:
✅ protecting epithelial cells against oxidation
✅ maintaining cell membrane integrity
✅ supporting resistance to oxidative stress
✅ protection against inflammatory damage

By reducing oxidative impact, gastric mucosa can maintain optimal protective function.

• Supporting gastric microbiological balance

A healthy gastric environment contributes to maintaining microbial balance and preventing excessive proliferation of harmful microorganisms. Zinc has a role in supporting local immune system and maintaining digestive barrier.

Benefits include:
✅ support for local immune function
✅ maintaining gastric microbial balance
✅ supporting mucosal resistance to external factors
✅ protection against repeated irritations

This support is important for long-term digestive health.

• Supporting upper intestinal health

The zinc-carnosine complex acts not only at gastric level, but also contributes to the integrity of the upper small intestine portion, where nutrient absorption is essential.

Zinc Carnosine helps with:
✅ maintaining intestinal epithelium structure
✅ supporting efficient nutrient absorption
✅ protecting intestinal barrier
✅ support for overall digestive health

A healthy intestinal barrier is essential for preventing systemic inflammation and maintaining metabolic balance.

• Zinc's role in immune function and metabolism

Zinc is an essential mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions, having a central role in immune function, DNA synthesis and cellular metabolism.

Through zinc intake (8 mg), the product contributes to:
✅ normal immune system functioning
✅ protecting cells against oxidative stress
✅ maintaining normal cellular metabolism
✅ supporting cell division

These effects support not only digestive health, but also overall body balance.

• Targeted approach for gastric protection

PepZin GI® is a special form of zinc bound to L-carnosine, designed to adhere to gastric mucosa and offer prolonged protection exactly in the area where it is needed.

The formula supports:
✅ direct gastric mucosal protection
✅ digestive tissue regeneration and repair
✅ gastric comfort and acid balance
✅ local antioxidant protection
✅ maintaining gastrointestinal barrier integrity

Through this innovative combination, Zinc Carnosine (PepZin GI®) from Swanson offers complex support for gastric and intestinal health, contributing to protection, regeneration and maintaining digestive balance in the context of food, medication or metabolic stress.
