Why Zinc Chew
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 — 121% of the Daily Value.
Long before eucalyptus showed up in modern wellness products, people were using the plant itself.
Traditional preparations have included eucalyptus-leaf teas, decoctions, steam inhalation and aromatic oils. Its use for breathing and upper-airway complaints has been documented across traditional medicine systems in places including Africa and South America. Peppermint has likewise been used for generations in European, Asian and Mediterranean herbal traditions.
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.
