Treat Hpylori With Metagenics' Zinlori

Zinlori is a dietary supplement, used for gastric upset, bloating and discomfort as well as in the treatment of H. pylori. H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori) is a bacterial infection of the stomach and the small intestine. Zinlori is best used as an adjunct treatment with antibiotics for H. pylori infection.


Instructions


Suggested Method of Taking Zinlori for Treatment of H. Pylori


1. Antibiotic treatment with usually two different medications is the method most often used. Treatment is usually for a two-week period. The two antibiotics are used to try and ensure the bacteria don't become resistant to just one medication.








Discuss with your health-care provider your intention to take Zinlori (zinc carosine) to supplement your current H. pylori treatment or instead of your current treatment. Because many health-care providers also recommend/prescribe a medication to decrease the stomach acid during the antibiotic treatment (to enhance effect of the medications), your health-care provider may be open to the use of Zinlori as an adjunct treatment.


2. Before taking your Zinlori, be sure to have eaten to avoid the potential for Zinlori's report of occasional heartburn-like symptoms if taken on an empty stomach.


3. Fill a 4- to 8-ounce glass of water or other drinkable non-alcoholic liquid. Remove the 75mgm Zinlori tablet from its container and place in your mouth, swallowing it with the drinking liquid in your glass. Repeat this procedure, totaling 2 doses of Zinlori 75mgm tablets daily.


4. Information on Zinlori is rudimentary, at best, which in and of itself does not mean the product is without merit. You should be aware that products that classify themselves as dietary supplements don't have to adhere to the same standards as even over-the-counter medications.


5. Pregnant women and nursing mothers should definitely discuss the use of Zinlori with their health-care providers before taking the dietary supplement.
