Why zinc matters

Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in hundreds of enzyme reactions in the body. It contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails, to normal vision and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. The body has no real way to store it, so a regular intake matters more than an occasional large one.

Take it with food. Zinc on an empty stomach very commonly causes nausea, and that puts more people off than the taste ever does. Space it a couple of hours away from iron or calcium supplements, since they compete for the same absorption route. Adult reference intakes sit around 10mg a day, and higher strength products are generally meant for shorter runs rather than indefinite use.

Choose by

  • Strength per tablet in milligrams
  • Form: gluconate, citrate or picolinate
  • Tablet, capsule or lozenge

See the wider Vitamins & Supplements range, or ask our pharmacist about the right strength.
