– Designed to replace zinc and enhance effects of zinc in zinc deficient patients.
– Useful in allergies particularly eczema

Olea Europaea (Olive) leaf has bioactive compounds that have antioxidant, antihypertensive, antiatherogenics, anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic and hypocholesterolemic properties. Olive leaf has the antioxidant capacity significantly higher than green tea and vitamin C.
Zinc Plus contains other micronutrients and herbs to increase uptake and utilisation of zinc and complement its action.
Zinc Deficiency
Zinc deficiency can manifest itself in many ways and may even occur without overt clinical signs. Probably the earliest symptoms of a zinc deficiency pertain to the nervous system with non-specific psychological disturbances including behavioural changes and mood disorders. The immune system then malfunctions with demonstrable changes in humoral and cell-mediated immunity.
