How does it work?
PepZin GI® uses a special chelated form of the mineral zinc has a unique ability to exert its effects directly on the cells of the stomach lining. When zinc is complexed to L-Carnosine, it dissociates in the stomach at a slower rate. This prolonged existence allows it to maintain its gastric support effect over a longer period of time.

Studies suggest that the zinc-L-Carnosine supports the bacterial balance in the stomach as well as help maintain a healthy mucosal lining.

PepZin GI combines zinc and L-carnosine in a bonded complex known as zinc-L-carnosine. This ingredient is commonly used for stomach support because it is associated with helping maintain the stomach lining and supporting the natural protective mucus layer in the upper digestive tract.
The combination matters because zinc and L-carnosine are not just sitting side by side in the formula, they are provided as one complex. PepZin GI has been studied for gastric comfort and stomach lining support, which is why it is often chosen when upper stomach irritation or occasional gastric discomfort is the main concern.
What does PepZin GI contain?
It contains zinc-L-carnosine, supplying both zinc and L-carnosine. The active ingredient is the PepZin GI complex itself.
What is zinc-L-carnosine commonly used for?
Zinc-L-carnosine is commonly used to support the stomach lining and help with occasional gastric discomfort. It is more targeted to the stomach than general digestive products.
