Zinc carnosine + copper orotate · one capsule a day · 60 capsules
More than zinc. A focused zinc-and-copper formula — zinc carnosine paired with copper orotate — that supports normal immune function and healthy skin* in one capsule a day.
Before you buy: for adults only. Count the zinc in any multivitamin or other supplement you take — the adult upper limit from all sources is 40 mg a day. Zinc can interact with some antibiotics; ask your pharmacist about spacing them.
Why zinc + copper?
Zinc and copper are both essential — your body can’t make either, so they have to come from food or supplements. They also share a path: zinc and copper compete for absorption in the gut, and taking a lot of zinc for a long time can lower your copper levels.
That’s why many zinc formulas, including Restore, include copper alongside it. It’s a sensible pairing for a daily zinc supplement — not a substitute for advice if you’re concerned about your mineral levels.
The formula difference
Most zinc-and-copper supplements use gluconate, picolinate or citrate forms. Restore uses a less common pairing — here’s what each one is.
16 mg zinc per capsule
Zinc bound to L-carnosine, a small molecule made of two amino acids (beta-alanine and histidine). You may also see it called zinc L-carnosine or polaprezinc. It’s the zinc form most often chosen for formulas that focus on digestive support.
The copper source
Copper bound to orotic acid, a compound the body makes on its own. In Restore it’s simply the copper source — there so a daily zinc capsule also brings copper with it.
We don’t claim these forms are absorbed better, or work better, than other forms of zinc or copper.
What it supports
Everyday reasons printed on every pouch — explained in plain terms.
Zinc and copper both contribute to the normal function of the immune system.*
Zinc helps maintain normal skin, and copper contributes to normal skin pigmentation.*
Copper is included so your daily zinc comes paired with it, rather than zinc on its own.

Mineral forms, explained
Every mineral supplement has two numbers behind it: the form (the mineral plus the molecule it’s bound to) and the elemental amount (the mineral itself). Labels list the elemental amount — that’s the number to compare. Zinc carnosine is zinc + carnosine; the 16 mg on the label is the zinc alone.
| Form | Bound to | In Restore? |
|---|---|---|
| Zinc carnosine | L-carnosine (dipeptide) | Yes |
| Copper orotate | Orotic acid | Yes |
| Zinc gluconate / copper gluconate | Gluconic acid | No |
| Zinc picolinate | Picolinic acid | No |
| Copper citrate | Citric acid | No |
Common forms are shown for identification only, not as a performance comparison.
Batch-specific testing
Every batch of Zinc Restore comes with a Certificate of Analysis from the manufacturer. It checks five things before a pouch ships.
Confirms the ingredients are zinc carnosine and copper orotate.
Measures how much zinc and copper each capsule contains.
Screens for lead, arsenic, cadmium and mercury against set limits.
Checks microbial counts and tests for E. coli and Salmonella.
Checks the capsule breaks apart within the standard time. A manufacturing check, not an absorption claim.
The Certificate of Analysis is issued by the manufacturer for a single production batch. It is not independent third-party certification.
Ingredient transparency
Two minerals and a capsule. That’s the whole ingredient list.
| Ingredient | Form | Per capsule |
|---|---|---|
| Zinc | as zinc carnosine | 16 mg |
| Copper | as copper orotate | Pending confirmation |
| Capsule | Vegetable cellulose | Other ingredient |

FAQ
General information only. For advice about your own health, talk to your healthcare provider.
Both are essential minerals, and they compete for absorption. Taking zinc for a long time can lower copper levels, so many daily zinc formulas include copper alongside it.
Zinc carnosine (also called zinc L-carnosine or polaprezinc) is zinc bound to L-carnosine, a small molecule made from two amino acids, beta-alanine and histidine. Each capsule provides 16 mg of zinc from zinc carnosine.
Copper bound to orotic acid, a compound the body makes on its own. It’s the copper source in Zinc Restore.
Most zinc-and-copper supplements use forms such as zinc gluconate, zinc picolinate, copper gluconate or copper citrate. Zinc Restore pairs zinc carnosine with copper orotate in one capsule a day. We don’t claim these forms work better than others — it’s a different, focused formula.
60 capsules. One capsule is one serving, so a pouch lasts 60 days.
Take one (1) capsule daily, with or without food, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
Check the zinc and copper in anything else you take, such as a multivitamin. The adult upper limit for zinc is 40 mg a day from all sources. Zinc can reduce the absorption of some antibiotics and other medicines, so ask your pharmacist about spacing them.
The pouch states no artificial fillers or unnecessary additives. The only other ingredient is the vegetable cellulose capsule.
Each batch has a manufacturer’s Certificate of Analysis covering identity, potency, heavy metals, microbiology and capsule disintegration. See “Quality you can verify” on this page.
For adults only. Consult a physician if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or have a medical condition. Each capsule provides 145% of the Daily Value for zinc, so count other zinc sources and stay within the 40 mg daily upper limit. Keep out of reach of children.
