Detailed instructions for ZINKOROT 25 mg tablets, 50 pcs

Field of use

Zinkorot® 25 mg tablets support the immune system in zinc deficiency. It can also lead to an improvement in the complexion of acne if there is a zinc deficiency behind it.

Compensate for zinc deficiency at an early stage.
Zinkorot® 25 mg makes a valuable contribution when it comes to treating a zinc deficiency and its consequences, because the trace element often cannot be ingested in sufficient quantities through food. There are circumstances in which the risk of zinc deficiency increases, such as pregnancy, breastfeeding or stressful phases of life with an unbalanced diet. It is important to counteract the zinc deficiency at an early stage. Zinc deficiency can be compensated with Zinkorot® 25 mg.

Inadequate zinc supply - not uncommon in Germany.
Zinc is a vital trace element that is found in numerous foods. Around 21% of women and 32% of men in Germany do not reach the recommended daily dose of zinc.1) Zinkorot® 25 mg gets to the bottom of the deficiency! High-dose zinc in combination with organic orotic acid helps the body to balance its zinc levels and strengthen the immune system in the event of a zinc deficiency. highly dosed with 25 mg zinc per tablet

• supports the immune system in zinc deficiency
• readily available for the body2)
• only 1 tablet daily
• vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free and gelatin-free
• available in pharmacies without a prescription

A zinc deficiency can manifest itself in various symptoms:

• weakened immune system (e.g. colds)
• poorly healing wounds
• Skin diseases (e.g. acne, neurodermatitis, psoriasis)
• brittle nails and brittle hair
• decreased sense of taste and smell

Although many foods contain zinc, there are also other substances that can reduce the absorption and availability of the trace element. This includes phytic acid in plant products. Some groups of people develop a zinc deficiency more easily than others: people over the age of 65, vegetarians, vegans, athletes, diabetics or patients with absorption disorders have an increased need for zinc. In order for the body to remain healthy, vital and efficient, the deficiency must be compensated.
A zinc deficiency is anything but harmless. There is often a connection between zinc deficiency and acne, because zinc is important for wound healing and is involved in numerous other processes in the skin (e.g. regulation of sebum production and cornification). Frequent infections, poorly healing wounds, brittle nails and hair loss can be the tolerable consequences. Zinkorot® 25 mg is highly dosed, one tablet contains 25 mg of valuable zinc.  

DIESE PERSONENGRUPPEN HABEN EIN ERHÖHTES RISK, EINEN ZINK-MANGEL ZU ENTWICKELN

MENSCHEN AB 65 JAHREN
Older people are often affected by zinc deficiency. Due to natural aging processes, the body can no longer absorb minerals and trace elements as well.

MENSCHEN MIT BESTIMMTEN CHRONISCHEN ERKRANKUNGEN
Various diseases such as diabetes mellitus can lead to an increased need for zinc. Chronic gastrointestinal diseases can also lead to reduced zinc intake.

VEGETARIER UND VEGANER
People who eat a vegetarian or vegan diet have an increased risk of zinc deficiency. The body can better utilize zinc from foods of animal origin than from foods of plant origin, since these often contain substances that inhibit zinc absorption.

MENSCHEN, DIE VIEL SPORT TREIBEN
Heavy and frequent sweating can cause large amounts of zinc and other important minerals to be lost. People who do a lot of sport in particular should therefore keep an eye on their zinc supply in order to prevent zinc deficiency.

SCHWANGERE UND STILLENDE
During pregnancy, the body must be supplied with more zinc. From the 4th month, the need for zinc increases, and breastfeeding mothers also need it every day. Talk to your doctor before taking a high dose of zinc.

MENSCHEN MIT HAUTPROBLEMEN (ACNE), SPRÖDEM HAAR UND BRÜCHTIGEN NÄGELN
In people with chronic skin diseases such as acne or neurodermatitis, the zinc level is often lower than in healthy people. Brittle, thin hair or brittle nails can also indicate an insufficient supply of zinc.

HÄUFIGE FRAGEN UND ANTWORTEN

Is it true that stress can affect zinc absorption?
Stress, coffee and alcohol are among the classic zinc thieves. Be careful, because these zinc thieves can interfere with zinc absorption in the body or lead to increased losses.

Can zinc help with a cold?
Clinical studies have shown that zinc can significantly shorten the duration of the common cold. In order to achieve this positive effect, however, zinc must be taken within 24 hours after the first cold symptoms become noticeable. According to the study results, the greatest effects were seen with the administration of high-dose zinc.3),4)
Which nutrients are also important to promote the immune system?
To support the immune system and a powerful defense against pathogens, an adequate supply of vitamin C is necessary in addition to zinc. Good sources of vitamin C are fresh fruit and vegetables. However, the valuable vitamin is sensitive to oxygen, light and heat and can be lost during long storage or cooking. If an adequate supply of vitamin C cannot be ensured through diet, Wörwag Pharma's Vitamin C 1000 film-coated tablets are a preparation for preventing vitamin C deficiency and for treating vitamin C deficiency diseases.

Can taking medication affect zinc levels?
Certain medications can lead to zinc being either poorly absorbed or excreted in excess. Possible zinc robbers are rheumatism drugs (e.g. penicillamine), certain antibiotics and draining drugs (so-called diuretics).

What is special about Zinkorot® 25 mg tablets?
Zinkorot® 25 mg is highly dosed, it contains 25 mg zinc per tablet. To treat a zinc deficiency, just one tablet a day is enough. In addition, the drug is characterized by its special combination of zinc and orotic acid (zinc corotate). The organic compound can be easily absorbed by the body.
Another advantage: the tablets have a score line. People who have difficulty swallowing pills can easily share them.

How long does it take to compensate for the zinc deficiency?
The duration of use depends on the therapeutic success. Therefore, talk to your doctor about how long you should take Zinkorot® 25 mg if you have a zinc deficiency.
