Frequently asked questions
-
High-dose zinc supplementation can deplete copper levels over time because zinc and copper compete for absorption in the gut. Including 1.5mg of copper alongside 15mg of zinc helps maintain the natural balance between these two essential trace minerals. This is standard practice in well-formulated zinc supplements.
-
Yes. The EU NRV for zinc is 10mg per day. This product provides 15mg, which is 150% NRV. The EU upper tolerable intake level for zinc is 25mg per day. At 15mg this product is well within safe limits for long-term daily use. The description warning about 25mg applies to products with higher zinc content, not this one.
-
Zinc contributes to normal function of the immune system, maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails, protection of cells from oxidative stress, normal protein synthesis, normal DNA synthesis, and normal cognitive function. These are authorised EU health claims.
-
Vitamin C and zinc both contribute to the normal function of the immune system and protection of cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin C also supports the absorption environment for zinc. Taking both together is a well-established nutritional approach, particularly during periods when immune support is a priority.
-
Yes. Taking zinc on an empty stomach can cause mild nausea or digestive discomfort in some people. Taking this capsule with a meal reduces that risk. It does not significantly affect absorption when taken with food.
-
Each pack contains 90 capsules. At the recommended intake of 1 capsule daily, this is a 90-day supply.
-
Yes. The capsule shell is made from HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a plant-derived material. There are no animal-derived ingredients anywhere in the formula.
