Low zinc is almost unheard of in developed countries, right?

Don't be so sure...

Person sitting alone by a window

See, government regulators say your body only needs about 9 milligrams of zinc per day.1

But ask yourself: who came up with these guidelines, anyway?

And Are You Really Willing To Trust Them With Your Life?

Because we all remember when these same bureaucrats said smoking was not merely a harmless habit -- but actually good for you.

Or when they said your daily "food pyramid" should be a high-carb, low-fat diet packed with ultra-processed foods like margarine and hydrogenated oils.

And just look at how those recommendations turned out...

Because cutting-edge research now proves zinc is yet another victim of bogus medical guidelines.

We know this thanks to a few brave scientists from Harvard, Stanford, and Cambridge, who are finally speaking out against the medical establishment.

Brave Scientists From Harvard, Stanford, & Cambridge Sound The Alarm About Widespread Zinc Deficits

Medical scientist with university logos

Together, these elite scientists have conducted more than 1,000 studies about zinc and its effects on the human body. And now they are sounding the alarm that adults over 60 need almost 2 times more zinc than mainstream medicine recommends.2,3

That means as many as 9 out of every 10 seniors are failing to achieve optimal zinc levels. Even if they eat plenty of vegetables and take a zinc supplement or multivitamin.2,3,4

And it also means low zinc is the silent culprit behind many of the worst health problems facing folks over 60 today.

The Silent Culprit Behind Many Of The Worst Health Problems For People Over 60

Zinc is the engine that drives over 300 cellular processes in your body. Yet your body has NO method for storing it.5

That means you must feed your cells a constant supply of zinc each day. Otherwise your body loses its ability to form new memories ... regulate your immune system ... balance your hormones... and even burn fat for energy.6

And that's not all.

Our bodies are also exposed to more heavy metals, microplastics, and other toxins than ever before. (Even if you try to eat clean, store food in glass containers, and use natural household products.)7

These foreign invaders soak up the zinc in your bloodstream and prevent it from reaching your cells.8,9

On top of that, many popular medications also bleed your zinc levels dry...

Medication bottles

One of the worst offenders is the  #3 most-prescribed drug for folks on Medicare:  lisinopril.10,11 Others include beta blockers like metoprolol ... ARBs like losartan ... diuretics like hydrochlorothiazide ... and more. 11,12,13

Together, all these foreign compounds steal your body's precious supply of zinc.

Which means you need to consume even more if you want to achieve optimal levels.

That's why scientists from Harvard and Stanford now say you need 2 times more zinc than outdated nutrition guidelines recommend.

So make sure you keep an eye out for these 7 warning signs of low zinc. Because research suggests 9 in 10 adults over 60 are now at risk.

Beware Of These
7 WARNING SIGNS Of Low Zinc

Low-Zinc Warning #1:

Mental Lapses & Cognitive Decline

Zinc is one of the most important nutrients for your brain health and mental capacity. The neurons in your brain need zinc to communicate with each other. And zinc helps protect your delicate brain cells from oxidative stress and dangerous protein build-up as well.

That means without zinc, your brain stops working like it should. You begin to experience scary mental lapses and memory blackouts. You have trouble focusing and recalling information. And some studies show it can lead to even more severe cognitive decline as well.

Low-Zinc Warning #2:

Stubborn & Unexplained Weight Gain

Zinc plays a critical role in your body’s fat-burning metabolism. Which means without enough zinc, your body packs on extra pounds of fat.

For example, one study compared 2 groups of people with excess belly fat. Both groups followed a diet with the exact same number of calories. But one group also received a zinc supplement. And at the end of the study, the group that took zinc lost significantly more weight than the group that didn’t!

Low-Zinc Warning #3:

Low Energy, Mood Swings, And A “Soft” Libido

Zinc is an essential nutrient for the production of the “happy hormone,” serotonin — as well as our thyroid hormones, estrogen, and testosterone. So without enough zinc, you wind up suffering from low energy, mood swings, and a “soft” libido. (Especially if you’re a man, since zinc has also been shown to play a role in nitric oxide production and increasing blood flow where you need it most.)

The good news is that means fueling your cells with the right amount of zinc could be all you need to enjoy all-day energy and a brighter mood, while reviving your sex drive and ability to perform in the bedroom.

Low-Zinc Warning #4:

Painful Tooth Decay & Bleeding Gums

Zinc is one of the most important minerals for dental health. It’s an important building block in your protective tooth enamel. Plus it also helps support and strengthen your gums. So without enough zinc, you often suffer from bleeding gums and painful teeth.

But it also means simply taking the right amount of zinc could help combat tooth decay and even brighten your smile.

Low-Zinc Warning #5:

A Weak Immune System

Zinc fuels the production of immune cells in your body, including T cells, B cells, and Natural Killer cells. Which means without enough zinc, your body winds up unable to defend itself from viruses, bacteria, fungus, and other nasty bugs.

Countless studies now confirm that taking zinc helps prevent viral replication. And it has even been demonstrated to shorten the duration of the common cold.

Low-Zinc Warning #6:

Dry Skin, Wrinkles & Thinning Hair That Falls Out In Clumps

Zinc helps to maintain the delicate balance of your skin barrier and hydration. And it’s also a major component of strong and healthy hair.

That’s because both your skin and your hair are made from keratin. And zinc drives your body’s keratin production. What’s more, zinc also helps maintain the balance of natural oils on your scalp, which is what gives healthy hair its “shine.”

So without enough zinc, you wind up with dull, weak, and thinning hair that falls out in clumps. Along with sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles that make you look older than you really are.

Low-Zinc Warning #7:

Brittle Bones & Weak Muscles

Your muscles contain more zinc than any other part of your body. And for good reason. Your body needs zinc to preserve your precious muscle mass and keep you strong. And the same thing goes for your bones.

So without an ample supply of zinc, your body begins to wither away. Your muscles grow soft, small, and weak. While your bones become frail and brittle. And that means before you know it, your body might lose the ability to hold itself up without assistance.

Now at this point, you may be tempted to run out to your local drugstore or search Amazon for a zinc supplement. But that would actually be a mistake.

Here’s why…

Why Drugstore Zinc Supplements Only Make These Problems WORSE

Science has discovered that there are actually SEVEN different zinc molecules important to your health. And each one plays a different and essential role in your wellbeing.

Yet even the best zinc supplements from the drugstore or Amazon give you at most 1 or 2 forms of zinc. And that's just not enough if you want to protect yourself from all the unpleasant health problems associated with low zinc levels.

Even worse, studies have found taking too much of the wrong forms of zinc could actually make your memory problems worse. Plus it may also lead to premature wrinkles, weight gain, and even a weaker immune system.

Which means if you want to enjoy lasting health and wellbeing, you need to fuel your cells with all 7 essential forms of zinc:

The 7 Essential Forms Of Zinc Your Cells Need For Optimal Health

badge background
Essential Zinc Molecule #1

Zinc Orotate

For Memory, Focus, and Brain Health

This is the smallest form of zinc known to man. That means it crosses the blood-brain barrier better than any other form of zinc. From there, it goes right to work preserving your cherished memories … boosting recall … enhancing focus … and even flushing harmful protein build-up from your brain.

badge background
Essential Zinc Molecule #2

Zinc Methionate

For Weight & Metabolism

This form of zinc is the power source for your body’s metabolism. It specifically helps you burn off more of the carbs you eat for energy, rather than storing them as fat. And that makes losing weight feel effortless.

badge background
Essential Zinc Molecule #3

Zinc Ascorbate

For Rejuvenated Energy, Mood, & Libido

This form of zinc is actually bound to vitamin C. (Ascorbate is the scientific term for Vitamin C.) And that means it works wonders for your energy, mood, and sex drive. Especially for men who have trouble getting (or keeping) it up in the bedroom.

Clinical studies show that both zinc and vitamin C support the production of serotonin, estrogen, testosterone, and other critical hormones. While behavioral studies show it also gives you a brighter mood and even makes couples have more frequent intercourse!

Essential Zinc Molecule #4

Zinc Citrate

For Sturdy Gums & A Brilliant Smile

This form of zinc is a superstar for your dental health. It’s a key building block for your protective tooth enamel. Plus it also fights nasty yellow plaque … keeps your gums strong … and even erases bad breath.

badge background
Essential Zinc Molecule #5

Zinc Acetate

For A Nearly Unbeatable Immune System

This form of zinc is the driving force behind your immune system. Your body needs it to make T cells, B cells, Natural Killer cells, and other immune cells that protect you from viruses, bacteria, and other bugs. And that means taking this form of zinc could give you a nearly unbeatable immune system.

badge background
Essential Zinc Molecule #6

Zinc Picolinate

For Smooth, Youthful Skin & Shimmering Hair

This is the best form of zinc for smooth skin, shimmering hair, and reversing years or even decades of aging from your appearance. It delivers the hydration you need for a smooth, soft, and glowing complexion. It’s the glue that holds together your skin barrier — minimizing the formation of wrinkles. And it promotes full, strong, and shimmering hair better than any other form of zinc.

We know this thanks to a landmark study, which found this form of zinc gets absorbed into these keratin-rich parts of your body better than any other. For the study, scientists gave a group of people 3 different forms of zinc or a placebo. And this form of zinc was the only one that increased the zinc levels in the subject’s hair!

badge background
Essential Zinc Molecule #7

Zinc Glycinate

For Strong Muscles & Sturdy Bones

Many studies show this is the most absorbable form of zinc for the majority of your cells. And you’ve already seen how your muscles carry more zinc than any other organ in your body.

That means this form of zinc can help you preserve your strength and muscle mass. And it can also help you keep your bones strong and durable. That way, you can continue to savor all your favorite activities and pastimes. (And you can avoid losing your freedom and independence because your body is no longer strong enough to hold up its own weight.)

Finally, A Safe & Simple Way To Get All 7 Forms Of Zinc You Need To Feel Your Best

Once I saw the undeniable proof that low zinc is the silent culprit behind many of the worst health problems for men and women over 60, I started looking for a solution.

You see, not only am I a published research scientist. I also help more than 50 million viewers a month on social media with my cutting-edge health tips.

I spent days researching zinc supplements, looking for a combination that would provide the right balance of all 7 forms of zinc. (Without overdosing.)

But the only combinations I could find would cost several hundred dollars per month. And you’d also have to choke down a handful of pills each day.

It just wasn’t practical. And I figured there had to be a better way to get all 7 forms of zinc into the hands of more people.

Now luckily, I also have connections with some of the world’s top supplement formulators through my work as a research scientist. So I reached out to a few of my colleagues with a simple question:

Could we find a way to give deserving women like you access to all 7 forms of zinc in one simple formula — and for a price that fits almost any budget?

And I’m happy to say their answer was a resounding “yes.”

It doesn’t matter how much zinc you put in your mouth…

What matters is how much zinc makes it to your cells.

And you’ve already seen how microplastics, heavy metals, and other toxins soak up the zinc in your bloodstream so your body can’t use it.

That’s why we created a proprietary, 2-step delivery system with patented capsule technology.

The first step is to make sure that virtually every last zinc molecule survives the digestive process and absorbs into your bloodstream. That’s why we use proprietary Vcaps® Plus technology.

Vcaps® Plus is made from nothing but plant cellulose and water. That means Zinc7 is non-GMO, vegan, and free of both soy and dairy. And it allows your digestive system to absorb as much zinc as possible.

But we didn’t stop there.

The second step in the proprietary Zinc7 delivery system is a calculated dose of Rosehips we add to each capsule. That’s because research shows Rosehips can enhance your body’s absorption of zinc at the cellular level.

Which means with Zinc7, you can be confident that virtually every last zinc molecule in our formula will make it from your digestive system to your bloodstream…and then from your bloodstream to each one of your body’s more than 30 trillion cells.

With Zinc7, Your Cells Will Finally Have The Zinc They Need To Thrive
