Zinc intake may reduce IBS risk
Dietary copper, zinc, copper/zinc ratio intakes and irritable bowel syndrome risk: a large-scale prospective cohort study from UK Biobank.
Zinc impacts IBS risk findings
We explored the potential connection between dietary zinc intake and the risk of developing irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) through a large-scale analysis of participants from the UK Biobank. By assessing the dietary habits of 175,421 individuals who did not have IBS at the start of the study, we sought to understand how various levels of zinc, as well as copper and their ratio, might influence the onset of this troublesome condition.
Over an average follow-up period of 13.3 years, we observed that 2,240 participants were diagnosed with new-onset IBS. Notably, our findings revealed a U-shaped relationship between zinc intake and IBS incidence. For those consuming less than 10 mg of zinc per day, an increase in intake was linked to a decreased risk of IBS. Specifically, individuals taking less than 10 mg of zinc daily experienced a reduced risk with higher zinc consumption.
However, the relationship shifted for individuals who had higher intakes of copper and zinc; no significant benefits were noted when intakes reached or exceeded established thresholds. This suggests that there's a delicate balance to maintain when it comes to zinc and copper in the diet.
Importantly, subgroup analysis indicated that younger individuals, particularly those under 60, could benefit more from slight increases in zinc. Overall, our study highlights the significance of dietary management, emphasizing that reasonable zinc intake may contribute to lowering IBS risk while keeping copper and the copper/zinc ratio in a sensible range.

Supports immunity
I have been using Zinc Glycinate from Now Foods for a long time. Zinc is essential for health, affecting immunity, the nervous system, and bones. A deficiency can lead to issues such as frequent colds, irritable bowel syndrome, and hair loss. This product is of excellent quality, and I am satisfied with its content and effectiveness. I certainly recommend it before making a purchase!

Eases symptoms
This zinc product in glycinate form is excellent and easily digestible. It has been beneficial for my irritable bowel syndrome, especially when combined with probiotics. I also find it supports my immune system during colds or when I am unwell. I'm very pleased after using several packs and would recommend it.

Reduces anxiety
My anxiety has diminished since I started taking this zinc supplement, which I believe addresses my deficiency. I have to avoid other zinc products due to severe stomach discomfort, but this one is gentler and effective. The balance of zinc and copper is crucial, especially as I consume little copper in my diet. This supplement not only calms me but also aids my irritable bowel syndrome.
