Zinc-enhanced therapy improves eradication
We explored the effectiveness of a modified bismuth quadruple therapy that includes zinc carnosine, in comparison to the traditional triple therapy for treating indigestion caused by Helicobacter pylori infection. In our study, 92 patients with symptoms of dyspepsia and positive breath tests were randomly assigned to receive either the conventional treatment of esomeprazole, amoxicillin, and clarithromycin for 14 days, or a shorter 10-day course of the new therapy that also included bismuth subcitrate and zinc carnosine.

The results were quite revealing. Our findings showed that the modified bismuth quadruple therapy group had a significantly higher eradication rate of 93.5%, compared to 69.6% in the standard treatment group. This suggests that the addition of zinc carnosine to the treatment regimen could enhance the effectiveness of indigestion relief. Importantly, the side effects reported between the two groups were similar, with only mild dizziness noted in those receiving the new therapy.

Overall, the study indicates that a shorter course of therapy that includes zinc carnosine may be a superior option for individuals suffering from indigestion related to Helicobacter pylori. This approach not only appears to work better but also does not lead to more serious side effects, making it an appealing alternative to traditional treatment methods.

No indigestion noted
This dietary supplement is the perfect embodiment of zinc for me in all areas. The tablets are round, white, and biconvex, measuring about 5 mm in diameter, with no markings. The dosage is 100 tablets of 22 mg - one tablet provides 200% of the daily requirement for zinc. It’s important to take no more than one tablet per day after meals, as taking zinc on an empty stomach can lead to nausea and vomiting. The tablets have no taste, do not crumble, and do not leave an aftertaste, heartburn, or heaviness. It truly has no negative impact on my gastrointestinal tract; there’s been no nausea, heaviness, indigestion, bloating, or stomach pain. I highly recommend this zinc to protect the immune system and maintain overall health.

No gastrointestinal issues
The ideal zinc for me is Solgar's picolinate. The tablets are small and easy to swallow with water, having no taste and causing no aftertaste or heartburn. They have a positive impact on my gastrointestinal system with no nausea, heaviness, indigestion, or bloating. Taking the zinc gives me strength and energy, which I previously lacked during a prolonged depression due to skin issues. I’ve been taking it for 1.5 years; although my emotions have stabilised, I do not feel dependent on it, and the beneficial effects appear to linger. I always keep a jar on hand during autumn and spring when my mood tends to drop. This zinc is fantastic for maintaining my immune system.

Strengthened immunity
For me, zinc is the most vital mineral. It significantly bolsters my immune system, enhances my mood, and aids in sleep and training. It seems I may have been lacking zinc as I noticed white spots on my nails and experienced hair loss. Solgar Zinc Picolinate is well absorbed, and since I started taking two tablets a day, there has been no indigestion or nausea, unlike other forms. Although the reduction in hair loss isn't immediately visible, I plan to continue taking it while also ordering copper, which should be taken alongside increased zinc to maximise benefits.
