About

Zinc carnosine (ZnC) is a chelated complex of zinc and L-carnosine with unique gastro-protective properties. Unlike other zinc forms, it preferentially adheres to ulcerated gastric tissue and may help stabilize cell membranes and induce heat shock protein expression. Research suggests it may reduce NSAID-induced small bowel injury by up to 70% as measured by calprotectin, and support gastric mucosal healing.

How It Works

Chelated zinc-L-carnosine complex that preferentially adheres to ulcerated gastric tissue; stabilizes cell membranes against acid-pepsin injury; induces heat shock protein (HSP70) expression protecting against mucosal damage; suppresses H. pylori growth; reduces NSAID-induced intestinal permeability by blocking inflammatory cytokine cascades.

Evidence For Conditions

Side Effects

  • Nausea (most common, usually transient)
  • Metallic taste
  • Copper depletion with long-term high-dose use (>40 mg elemental zinc/day)
  • Headache

Drug & Supplement Interactions

  • Tetracycline and quinolone antibiotics (zinc reduces absorption; space 2 hours)
  • Penicillamine (zinc reduces absorption)
  • Copper supplements (zinc competes with copper for absorption)
  • Bisphosphonates (zinc may reduce absorption; space 2 hours)
