Zinc, the immune system and safe dosage!

 

Zinc is a mineral that is very important to the immune system. It is believed that zinc helps the different types of white blood cells fight off infections better. Some studies have found that zinc helps lower the duration and the number of viral colds, which are part of the coronavirus family. It is believed that the upper limit of zinc for adults is at 40mg/day. It appears that zinc and vitamin C have a synergistic effect on the immune response. We want to keep our zinc intake to around 20 to 30mg daily dose maximum since at near 50mg/day dosage zinc has been known to cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and a lowered immune response. *

When we created our Frunutta tablets, we had to consider how to make them dissolve. We had to use the safest ingredients in doing so; hence we chose the natural ingredient lactose sugar as opposed to other sugars such as sorbitol, sucrose, fructose, maltose, maltodextrin or other choices like mannitol, which is hard on the kidneys. We also chose lactose as a natural sweetener since it does not crystalize like other sweetener options under your tongue. Now, since lactose intolerance is very common nowadays, this ingredient has got a bad rep and we want to set the record straight on if the lactose in Frunutta will pose a problem for people with lactose intolerance.
