Why does Biotic⁺ include Zinc?
Zinc is a vital mineral involved in hundreds of essential functions throughout the body. In Biotic⁺, we use zinc oxide—a stable, well-tolerated form that supports both gut integrity and immune resilience.
We’ve included 2.5mg of zinc, delivering 23% of your daily NRV—a purposeful, gentle dose designed to support your microbiome without overlapping with the higher zinc level in Vitals⁺.
🤔 What does Zinc do for gut and immune health?
Zinc helps:
Support normal cognitive function, especially in high-demand or stressful times
Maintain healthy immune defences, helping the body respond to challenges
Support heart health and metabolism, including fat, carbohydrate, and protein breakdown
Reinforce the intestinal barrier, keeping your gut lining strong and selective
Zinc is especially valuable for protecting the gut lining during inflammation and modulating immune responses in the digestive tract.
🤔 Why this form—and why that dose?
We use zinc oxide because it’s:
Stable and gentle, making it ideal for daily gut support
Low-risk in terms of absorption conflicts, especially when taken with other nutrients
Well-suited to combination supplements—particularly Biotic⁺ + Vitals⁺
The lower dose means you can safely take it alongside Vitals⁺ without approaching upper intake levels, while still getting targeted support where it counts.
🤔 Why it's included in Biotic⁺
Zinc is a key player in gut and immune health—helping your body maintain a strong intestinal barrier, respond calmly to stressors, and support beneficial bacteria. It rounds out our formula by adding another layer of everyday resilience.
