Swanson Ultra Zinc Carnosine (PepZinGI) - 60 Capsules - Natural Supplement for Gastric Health, Digestive Support, and Stomach Microbial Balance

I took this product to help heal a chronic case of gastritis. After using it for two weeks, the pain (as well as other symptoms) are gone. I like to think I'm pretty sensitive to my body and (upon starting a regimen of zinc carnosine) could almost feel my system healing a little more each day.The idea with this combination of Zinc is it coats and sticks to the stomach and duodenum, as well as the small intestine. While clinging to the upper GI, it has time to protect the stomach and intestinal linings, kill harmful bacteria (including H. Pylori), heal mucosa, and maybe even regrow tissue. Whatever the case, it's made me feel a ton better.The dosage used to heal ulcers in a Japanese study is 75mg, twice a day. Swanson's recommended dosage is half that. The half dosage seems to be working for me and is closer to the USDA recommended amount of Zinc/day. I take 1 pill an hour before bed and 1 first thing in the morning. The Japanese study was 75mg. after lunch and 75mg. before bed, I believe.This product is also the cheapest form of Zinc Carnosine I've been able to find and the patented Pepzin GI assures that you're getting the right combo of Zinc to Carnosine (the one patented in the US to match that used in the Japanese studies). Also, from what I've read, Swanson is a well established brand that uses 3rd party testing and is a member of consumer advocacy groups.If you have an ulcer or gastritis or even bad reflux, this product may be the relief you're looking for. I'm not a medical professional...Just a guy who did some research to find an alternative cure for his gastritis. And Zinc Carnosine worked wonders for me. I wish I'd found it before the endoscopy or acid blockers or antibiotics or arrogant doctor who didn't have the time to answer my questions, but instead gave me some scripts and showed me the door...

This is the first time I use this product and the results are excelent. I take it for my digestive issues and is helping me greatly.

So when I wanted this form of zinc, I was looking mainly for one that didn't have fillers in it like magnesium stearate and this one delivered. If I need some again, I'll definitely buy this brand.

The Swanson Zinc Carnosine (PepZin GI) is a natural supplement that I highly recommend for anyone looking to support gastric health and promote digestive wellness. This supplement is perfect for individuals experiencing stomach discomfort, indigestion, or other digestive issues.One of the major benefits of this supplement is its ability to promote microbial balance in the stomach. Studies have shown that Zinc Carnosine, the active ingredient in PepZin GI, helps to prevent harmful bacteria from growing in the stomach lining, which in turn helps to prevent gastric ulcers and other stomach-related issues.I have personally used this supplement and have found it to be effective in relieving my symptoms of a peptic ulcer and other digestive-related problems. It is also gentle on the stomach and can be taken regularly without any side effects.Overall, the Swanson Zinc Carnosine (PepZin GI) is a natural and effective way to support gastric health and promote digestive balance. I highly recommend it to anyone in search of a natural solution to their digestive problems.

Great product, great price, does what its suppose to do. Will continue to buy!

Great procuct I will buy again.

I truly believe this product has been a deciding factor in my recovery from gastritis.I have been taking this product faithfully for over 3 months now. I waited to write a review until I felt certain of the results. I was diagnosed by endoscopy with gastritis in may 2017. After finding a medication that helped me, I stayed on it for several months per doctor's recommendation to heal. However when I tried to get off of the meds gradually, my stomach pain flared up right away. So I added in this product daily and started to wean off the meds again quite slowly (1/4 of a dose at a time, at least 2 weeks between reductions). It will sound weird but as I continued to take this I feel like my stomach felt noticeably stronger. I did have occasional flares after decreasing meds but nothing signifcant or long lasting. I am finally off the medication for 3 weeks now and my stomach is still pain free. I feel like without this product this would not be the case. I will continue to take this as prevention.How I use it: I take 1 capsule 2x a day- after lunch and after dinner- with a glass of water. I find taking it on a full stomach is better for me.I would encourage anyone with similar issues to try this product. You do still have to use common sense- not having trigger foods/drinks etc. while healing. But I am so glad I tried this- my life has improved drastically without constant daily stomach pain.

This product is great... so good it depleted all my copper. Do not take extra zinc every day unless you really know what you're doing.
