Zinc

Zinc is involved in over 300 normal enzymatic processes — from normal immune function and wound healing to normal hormone production and DNA repair. Commonly included in immune, men's wellness, and skin health formulas, and one of the most widely recommended minerals for everyday wellbeing.


Q: Which form of zinc is best absorbed?

A: Zinc picolinate and zinc bisglycinate have the best bioavailability. Zinc citrate and gluconate are also well-absorbed options. Zinc oxide is for topical skin use only.

Q: Is zinc used in cold and flu formulas?

A: Zinc lozenges dissolved in the mouth are a popular and widely used seasonal wellness approach. The zinc lozenge format is specifically designed to deliver zinc locally to the throat.

Q: What are signs of low zinc intake?

A: Frequently under the weather, slow wound recovery, hair thinning, white spots on nails, and changes in taste or smell are sometimes associated with low zinc.

Q: Is there a risk of taking too much zinc?

A: High daily doses are not recommended without medical guidance, as excess zinc may affect copper absorption and cause digestive discomfort.
