Description


    Now free of artificial sweeteners!

    Kirkman’s new improved liquid zinc supplement is a pleasant tasting syrup flavored with a natural berry flavor. Each 1 teaspoon serving contains 20 mg of elemental zinc from water soluble zinc alpha-ketoglutarate and is in a sugar free medium. Our new and improved formula is free of artificial sweeteners.

    Zinc and the immune system

    Zinc is present in every cell in the body and is also a component of over 200 enzymes. Actually‚ zinc is involved in more enzymatic reactions than any other mineral constituent in mammals.

    Zinc is essential for normal skin‚ vision‚ smell‚ taste‚ reproduction‚ brain development‚ protein synthesis and wound healing. It is also one of the most important factors in a healthy immune system. Zinc is involved in just about every aspect of immunity‚ including the immune enhancing “T” cells that are necessary for immune response.

    The best sources of zinc are shellfish‚ fish‚ and red meats‚ with oysters being the richest source. Substantial amounts are also found in certain plant foods such as whole grains‚ legumes‚ nuts‚ mushrooms and some herbs. The zinc from plant sources is not absorbed well because it binds to a fiber compound in plant seeds called phytic acid to form an insoluble zinc-phytate complex that cannot be assimilated.

    A study published in 1997 in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition reported that Chinese children receiving 20 mg. of zinc supplementation daily scored 10-15% higher on educational tests than unsupplemented children.

    Why might an individual be deficient in zinc?

    Zinc levels in the body may be lowered by the following conditions:
    • diarrhea
    • fiber consumption‚ which causes zinc excretion through the intestinal tract
    • perspiration
    • high calcium and iron consumption
    • copper ingestion
    • liver or kidney disease and
    • diabetes

    I used Zinc Liquid by Kirkman for my son when he would wake up during the night. It smells great. Part of a biomedical treatment.

    Pros

    Liquid.

    Cons

    Sticky.
    I would recommend this item to a friend.

    Turned my son into a raging beast

    We started Zinc Liquid by Kirkman with our son based on doctors advise. He had lab work done and we were told he was deficient in zinc. We started at half the dose recommended on the bottle. Within two days he was a complete mess. He was very anger and non compliant. His activity level went through the roof. He would yell loudly and swear at us. It was even a huge difference in school. They wanted to know what was going on that he is acting this way. We have discontinued Zinc Liquid. He has since improved. He improved within two days. He later told me that it really made his stomach hurt. I love the Kirkman brand and use many other things they have to offer. Their children's multivitamin is higher in zinc than other multivitamins. Our son was on the multivitamin before he started to take this. I truthfully think it just overloaded his system.

    Pros

    I love the brand just not the zinc.

    Cons

    Made my son insane. Stomach hurt.

    Been using Zinc Liquid by Kirkman for years. I use it more when I feel a cold coming on. It helps to stop a cold and if I do catch one it does not last long and I do not feel as bad.
    I would recommend this item to a friend.
