Seeking Health Zinc Carnosine provides 75mg of zinc L-carnosine per capsule — a unique chelated compound specifically shown in clinical studies to support gastric mucosa health, protect the stomach lining, and support the integrity of the gut epithelium. Different from standard zinc supplements in both form and specific gut-targeted benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is zinc carnosine and what makes it different from regular zinc?

Zinc L-carnosine is a chelated compound where zinc is bound to the dipeptide L-carnosine. This bonding allows it to adhere to the gut lining and remain in the gastric mucosa much longer than ionic zinc forms — providing targeted, sustained support for stomach and intestinal tissue.

What clinical evidence exists for zinc carnosine?

Zinc carnosine has been extensively studied in Japan for decades for gastric protective effects. Clinical trials show it supports healthy gastric mucosa integrity, protects against NSAID-induced gut damage, and supports a healthy H. pylori response.

Who should consider zinc carnosine?

Those with gastric discomfort, peptic ulcers, H. pylori infections, NSAID use (aspirin, ibuprofen), leaky gut, or anyone wanting targeted support for their gastric lining and gut epithelial integrity.

How should I take Zinc Carnosine?

Take 1 capsule twice daily between meals (away from food) for best gut contact, or as directed by your healthcare professional. Often used for 8-12 week courses alongside gut healing protocols.
