Originally developed and studied in Japan, zinc carnosine (polaprezinc) is a complex of zinc and L-carnosine. It has been shown in multiple studies to help repair mucosal lining and reduce inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract.
Studies show that zinc carnosine improves outcomes in patients with ulcers and irritable bowel conditions. It also increases gut lining thickness and strength.
“I added zinc carnosine to my protocol and it made a huge difference. Less acid reflux and my skin even cleared up,” said one user on r/SIBO.
