Why Zinc Chew

Zinc

Zinc is one of the minerals people reach for when they want to support their immune system.

Your body needs zinc every day. It supports normal immune function and acts as a cofactor for hundreds of enzymes involved in processes including protein synthesis, DNA synthesis and cellular metabolism.

Each piece of Zinc Chew contains 13.3 mg of zinc as zinc gluconate — 121% of the Daily Value.

So one piece gives you a meaningful, clearly labeled dose in something you can simply chew.

Peppermint + Eucalyptus

Peppermint cools. Eucalyptus gives the chew its fresh, invigorating aroma.

There’s also substantial scientific interest in eucalyptus oil and its major constituent, 1,8-cineole, or eucalyptol.

Published reviews describe antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity associated with 1,8-cineole and eucalyptus oil.

That’s research on eucalyptus and its constituents—not an efficacy claim about Zinc Chew. But it’s part of why eucalyptus is an appealing ingredient alongside zinc and peppermint.

Why put them in gum?

Because chewing has a useful physical effect of its own.

Moving your jaw and swallowing can help equalize pressure in the middle ear. It’s the same reason people chew gum during takeoff and landing.

So Zinc Chew combines four simple things:

Zinc for immune support. Peppermint for cooling. Eucalyptus for a fresh, invigorating aroma. Chewing for pressure equalization.

That’s the product.

What's in a piece.

A meaningful zinc dose in a sugar-free peppermint-eucalyptus gum.
