Doctor's Best - Pepzin GI - Zinc-L-Carnosine Complex - 3 x 120 V-caps

PepZin GI®- Zink-L-Carnosine Complex van Doctor’s Best

PepZin Gl®is een gepatenteerd complex met zink en L-carnosine (Zink-L-Carnosine). PepZin Gl®is onder meer een krachtig antioxidant en specifiek ontwikkeld voor het werkgebied de maag. PepZin GI®werd in 1983 voor het eerst gesynthetiseerd door Hamari Chemicals in Japan met als doel de twee fysiologisch belangrijke stoffen in één geheel te combineren als nieuw molecuul. Deze speciale gecheleerde vorm van het mineraal zink heeft doeltreffende effecten direct in de maag. PepZin Gl®wordt in Japan al sinds 1994 breed ingezet.

The synergy between zinc and L-carnosine

The chelation of the mineral zinc with the peptide L-carnosine creates Zinc-L-Carnosine. The combination of zinc and L-carnosine ensures that the product dissolves in the stomach at a slower rate, which means that the beneficial effects in the stomach last longer. This is in contrast to simple separate combinations of zinc and L-Carnosine. These are not molecularly bound, dissolve faster and are therefore much less effective. The molecular binding of zinc and L-Carnosine and the extensive documentation makes PepZin Gl®unique.

Additional information zinc

The components zinc and L-Carnosine as separate parts are also worth mentioning. For example, zinc is a very essential mineral for many processes in our body. It would take too long to list everything, but all cells in the body need zinc, for example for the cell division process. Zinc is also needed for the development of healthy bones, hair, skin and nails. A good zinc status is important for fertility and reproduction. And finally, zinc is good for the immune system.

Additional information L-Carnosine

L-Carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine) is a dipeptide consisting of the amino acids β-alanine and histidine. L-carnosine is mainly found in the brain and in skeletal muscle tissue. We get L-Carnosine through food via meat. As with L-carnitine, the name 'carnosine' refers to its frequent occurrence in muscle tissue. Carne means meat in Latin. Vegan or vegetarian diets contain hardly any L-Carnosine and as we get older, the concentrations in the body decrease.

How does digestion work in the stomach?

Everything we eat - proteins, carbohydrates and fats - is broken down, converted, absorbed and digested in various steps in our body with the help of enzymes. This digestive process starts in the mouth and the stomach. Vitamins and minerals are also released for use in the body. A well-functioning stomach is essential for good digestion. The stomach consists roughly of a muscle layer, a connective tissue layer and a mucous membrane layer. The mucous membrane layer produces gastric juice. Gastric juice plays an important role in the conversion of food in the stomach. Gastric juice consists of, among other things, hydrochloric acid, digestive enzymes, mucus and intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor is a substance that is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B12 from food in the small intestine. Good digestion also ensures good absorption of nutrients and for maintaining balance in the intestine, which keeps health good.
