Description

The Zetpil™ Suppository Format

Zetpil™ offers calcium and magnesium in a suppository format as an alternative to traditional oral products. Each suppository is formulated with a proprietary base designed to melt after insertion and provide a convenient, non-oral method of administration. The suppository format also avoids the need to swallow tablets, capsules or liquids.

Oral supplements can lose effectiveness as they pass through the digestive system due to stomach acid, digestive enzymes, food interactions, first-pass metabolism, and other factors that affect absorption and bioavailability.

Zetpil™ suppositories are designed for convenient at-home use.

Always use the product according to its directions and consult a qualified healthcare professional regarding whether a product is appropriate for you.

Calcium and Magnesium

Calcium and magnesium are essential minerals involved in numerous normal functions within the human body.

Calcium is an important component of bones and teeth and contributes to normal muscle and nerve function.

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of enzymatic processes throughout the body and contributes to normal muscle, nerve and metabolic function.

Zetpil™ combines calcium and magnesium in a single suppository for adults seeking an alternative to conventional oral mineral supplements.

Storage

This product can often be stored at room temperature from 21°C /70°F to 28°C /82°F. However, to allow for optimal ease of use, it is best to store in a cool place (15°C /59°F to 22°C /72°F), in the refrigerator or freezer prior to use. This is especially important when this product is used as a suppository (See Directions). If the materials in the shell liquefy/melt during shipping, remove the shells from the packaging, shake/agitate the strips and then place in the freezer until the product in the shell hardens (10-15 minutes). Although the re-hardened material in the shell may be slightly misshapen, the softening, shaking and cooling of the suppository in no way alters the effectiveness of the active ingredients or overall product delivery into the body.

Warnings

  • Keep out of reach of children.
  • Do not use if the suppository or packaging is open or damaged.
  • Consult your healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • Consult your healthcare provider before use if you take medications, have a medical condition or have questions about whether this product is appropriate for you.
  • Do not use if you have a known hypersensitivity to phospholipids or any of the listed ingredients.
  • Discontinue use and contact your healthcare provider if you experience an adverse reaction.

Due to the nature of this product, suppositories cannot be returned or exchanged.
