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.
