Why use a Zinc Ionophore?

Lazu Virocin^TM is not just a zinc supplement, it is a natural Zinc Ionophore which utilises the proven ability of Quercetin (having no toxic side effects of other ionophores) to act as the carrier to transport the body’s natural zinc reserves, across the cell membrane. Virocin^TM also includes additional Zinc for those individuals who are zinc deficient.

Virocin^TM has been fortified with Vitamin D as it has been confirmed that vitamin D supplementation can help protect against acute respiratory infections and viral infections.

Based on current science, it appears that if the unique  Virocin^TM formulation, and its natural Zinc Ionophore, is best consumed on a regular basis when the risk of viral transmission is higher, to support the body’s immune system before the onset of symptoms or at the first signs. — so don’t delay!

5 Additional Things to Know About Lazu Virocin

#1     Zinc Needs to get Inside the Cell, but it Can’t. 

Zinc has been shown to block certain key viral enzymes, which are found inside infected cells and are responsible for the further reproduction of the virus within the body. Once the enzymes are blocked, and viral reproduction has stopped, the body’s immune system then has time to remove the infected cell and halt further progression of the viral infection.

The Problem

HOWEVER,….  How do you get zinc inside an infected cell where it can be most effective because zinc is a highly controlled mineral inside the body and doesn’t easily move into the cell by itself, even when you take high doses of zinc as a supplement.

Solution 

Use a Zinc Ionophore, which is a special class of compound that is known to bind with zinc and then move it across the cell membrane and into the cell where it can be most effective. Virocin™ contains one of the few natural Zinc ionophores known to exist.

VIROCIN CLAIM: Contains a natural Zinc Ionophore (Transporter) , which increase ZInc within the cell to improve the effectiveness of zinc, within the body’s immune system.

 

#2    The Ionophore, which Transports Zinc and Improves its Concentration within the Cells, is itself,  Poorly Absorbed in the Body. 

Quercetin is a natural Zinc Ionophore, which is capable of moving zinc into an infected cell to block further production of the virus.

The Problem

HOWEVER,….  Quercetin has low absorption and poor bioavailability, which means the body discards far more Quercetin (around 80% is lost) than it uses. As a result, to be an effective Zinc Ionophore, one would need to take about 5 grams of Quercetin per day.

Solution 

Virocin™ uses a specialised “bio-enhanced” formulation of Quercetin, and this results in far more Quercetin being absorbed, which is then available for the body to use.

Virocin™ has overcome the common problem of low absorption and poor bioavailability of Quercetin with its “patent pending” formulation; requiring just 1 gram per day for a  Zinc Ionophore effect.

VIROCIN CLAIM:  Virocin is a Bio-Enhanced formulation that makes the key ingredients such as the Zinc Ionophore, far more bioavailable and effective.

 

#3     Synthetic Zinc Ionophores have Gained much Media Attention and have been Criticised for their Lack of Effect. 

Certain “synthetic” versions of Zinc Ionophores have been widely criticised for lacking any significant effect in recent studies.

The Problem

HOWEVER,….  Many of these “synthetic” Zinc Ionophores tested had examined just the Zinc Ionophore alone, but all  Zinc Ionophores need to have sufficient levels of zinc within the body to be effective. By comparison, other studies have shown significant improvement when a daily zinc supplement was added to the Zinc Ionophore. This suggests that many people who start taking a Zinc Ionophore alone may not have sufficient level of zinc in their bodies to start with.  Also, many recent studies delayed the start of the zinc ionophore protocol well past the point where increasing cellular zinc would have been effective.

Solution 

Virocin™ does not rely on someone having naturally high levels of zinc to start with, so we have added extra zinc into the formulation. With Virocin™, you are getting a Zinc Ionophore and a zinc supplement in one capsule. Zinc Ionophores are best consumed on a regular basis to support the body’s immune system before the onset of symptoms or at the first signs. — don’t delay!

VIROCIN CLAIM: Contains added zinc that improves the effectiveness to the natural Zinc Ionophore – two supplements in one so you No longer need to buy a separate zinc supplement.

 

#4    Oxidative Stress is a Common Side Effect of a Viral Infection 

One of the common effects of viral infections is the level oxidative stress and cellular damage it can cause within the body that can linger well after the viral infection has gone.

The Problem

HOWEVER,….  Many of the Zinc Ionophores being studied only focus on halting the viral infection and do nothing to support the damage from viral infection.

Solution 

In addition to its action as a natural Zinc Ionophore, Quercetin used in Virocin™ is also a well-known antioxidant, which can assist in reducing damage associated with oxidative stress during and after a viral infection.

Virocin™ has added vitamin C to the formulation to assist in the function of Quercetin and reduce oxidative damage.

VIROCIN CLAIM: Contains powerful antioxidants; including added Vit C that can help to repair oxidative damage.

 

#5    Research Suggests that Increasing Your Vitamin D Levels Could be Protective

There is a well-known seasonality to certain viral infections. Some researchers have suggested that during summer, many people can achieve higher levels of vitamin D through exposure to sunlight, which helps protect them from seasonal infections and respiratory complications.

The Problem

HOWEVER,….  Despite the benefits of increasing vitamin D levels naturally from sun exposure, many people are concerned about an increased risk of skin cancer from sun exposure. Population studies from around the world have shown most people are still not obtaining adequate levels of vitamin D, regardless of the season.

Solution 

We believe that there is sufficient evidence from published data that low levels of Vitamin D in the blood is an independent risk factor for increasing one’s chances of getting an infection.  We added Vitamin D to Virocin™ to further improve the effectiveness of the formulation.

VIROCIN CLAIM:  Contains Vitamin D for improved immune support.
