Zinc Carnosine
About Zinc Carnosine
Zinc Carnosine is a nutritional supplement used to stabilise and protect the gastric and intestinal mucosal lining, helps relieve mild gastric discomforts such as nausea, bloating, stomach upset, and occasional heartburn, and supports a healthy gastric microbial balance. It possesses gastrointestinal and health-promoting activity. Zinc Carnosine may also be used to treat nutritional deficiencies.
Zinc Carnosine contains 'Zinc carnosine', which is a complex of elemental zinc and L-carnosine. L-carnosine is a dipeptide molecule made up of two amino acids, namely, beta-alanine and L-histidine. Zinc Carnosine enhances stomach lining integrity and supports natural protective mechanisms in the gastrointestinal tract without interfering with the normal digestive process or suppressing stomach acid. It helps maintain the stomach microflora, thereby enhancing digestive health.
You are advised to take Zinc Carnosine for as long as your doctor has prescribed it for you, depending on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as nausea, indigestion, and stomach pain. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

If you are known to be allergic to any of the components in Zinc Carnosine, please inform your doctor. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Gastric discomfort: The stomach is usually protected from acid by a mucous layer. In some cases, due to excessive acid production, the mucous layer becomes eroded, leading to complications such as acidity, heartburn, and indigestion. Bloating occurs when the abdomen is filled with gas or air.
Dysbiosis: Dysbiosis, also known as dysbacteriosis, is a condition characterised by a disruption of microbiota homeostasis caused by an imbalance in the microflora, a shift in their local distribution, changes in their functional composition, and alterations in their metabolic activities.
