Orbit Naturals Addjust Syrup 60ml | Zinc Sulphate & Copper Sulphate Syrup for Immune Support & Healthy Growth

A zinc and copper syrup, 60ml. Two trace minerals formulated together rather than separately, for a reason worth explaining.

Made at our own facility on Adiyala Road, Rawalpindi, where we have been formulating since 1998. The amount of each mineral per 5 ml, the DRAP enlistment number, batch number and expiry date are printed on the pack.

Why zinc and copper belong in the same bottle

They compete for the same absorption pathway in the gut. Take zinc on its own at a decent dose for long enough and copper status drifts down, because the zinc is winning that competition every day.

The early signs of low copper are vague — tiredness, paleness, feeling off — which is exactly why it gets missed. Formulating them together at a sensible ratio avoids creating one problem while solving another. Our note on why zinc and copper belong together explains the balance in full.

What these contribute to

• Zinc — normal immune function, the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails, normal DNA and protein synthesis, normal cognitive function, protection of cells from oxidative stress, and a role in cell division.
• Copper — the maintenance of normal connective tissue, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal hair and skin pigmentation, normal iron transport, normal immune function, and protection of cells from oxidative stress.

How to take it

• Measure with the cup or spoon supplied, not a kitchen spoon. This matters especially with children.
• Follow the dose on the pack, and check the age range before giving it to a child.
• Take with or after food. Zinc on an empty stomach is the usual cause of nausea.
• Space it a couple of hours apart from iron or calcium supplements, and from certain antibiotics.
• Do not exceed the stated dose, and do not take it continuously for months without a reason.
• Shake before use.

Food first

Zinc is in meat, chickpeas, lentils, pumpkin seeds, cashews and dairy. Copper is in nuts, seeds, wholegrains and shellfish. Phytates in grains and pulses reduce absorption of both, which is why intake can fall short even when the food is on the table.

Who should check with a doctor first

• Anyone pregnant or breastfeeding, and before giving it to a child.
• Anyone taking antibiotics, particularly tetracyclines or quinolones.
• Anyone already taking a multivitamin or a separate zinc supplement, to avoid doubling up.
• Anyone with Wilson's disease or another copper metabolism disorder, who must not take added copper.
