Unizink 50 in detail
Unizink® 50 is an effective treatment for zinc deficiencies that cannot be corrected by diet. Zinc is an essential trace element that supports many bodily functions, including strengthening the immune system. Signs of zinc deficiency can include a weak immune system, skin problems, brittle nails, fatigue, sleep problems and hair loss. Unizink® 50 contains an optimal dosage of zinc, so that one film-coated tablet per day is usually sufficient to prevent a zinc deficiency. The organic zinc-aspartate compound ensures high bioavailability and good tolerability.
