It is a chelated compound in which a zinc ion is bound to L-carnosine, a dipeptide made from the amino acids beta-alanine and histidine. The binding partner matters: it changes how the zinc behaves after ingestion, and it is the reason this compound appears in the research literature under its own name rather than as a generic zinc salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFull Composition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZinc L-carnosine\u003c\/strong\u003e - the chelated zinc form, the compound most studied in this category\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMastic gum\u003c\/strong\u003e - a resin from the Pistacia lentiscus tree, traditionally harvested on the Greek island of Chios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDGL licorice\u003c\/strong\u003e - deglycyrrhizinated licorice, meaning the glycyrrhizin compound has been removed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eL-glutamine\u003c\/strong\u003e - the most abundant free amino acid in the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy DGL Rather Than Plain Licorice\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhole licorice root contains glycyrrhizin, which is the part associated with concerns around prolonged intake. Deglycyrrhizinated licorice has that fraction removed while keeping the rest of the root material. If a label says DGL, that is the distinction being made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and Supply\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo capsules daily. Each bottle contains 120 capsules, a 60 day supply. Capsule format rather than gummy, because the resin and amino acid components are not well suited to a gummy base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to Read the Label\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the Supplement Facts panel for the elemental zinc amount per serving. Products in this category vary widely in how much actual zinc they deliver, and the capsule count tells you nothing about that number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThese statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
