Life Extension Enhanced Zinc Lozenges provides zinc acetate, formulated without other ingredients that could reduce the delivery of ionic zinc, in a peppermint-flavoured lozenge. According to the manufacturer, this product is intended for occasional, short-term use only, and should not be used for more than 3 consecutive days. Supplemental zinc can inhibit the absorption of copper; if more than 50 mg of zinc is taken daily for more than 4 weeks, supplemental copper should also be taken. Chronic intake above 100 mg of zinc daily may negatively affect immune function.
