Zinc 25 mg Complex by Vit4ever
This Zinc Complex by Vit4ever provides 25 mg of zinc per tablet, a dosage above the standard entry-level dose of around 15 mg. It combines three forms of zinc in one tablet: zinc bisglycinate, zinc gluconate, and zinc citrate. The bottle contains 400 tablets, more than enough for a year with daily use of 1 tablet.
A higher dose of zinc per tablet
Most zinc products provide around 15 mg per tablet. This 25 mg version deliberately exceeds that. This variant is not intended as a standard daily dose for everyone, but as an option for those who consciously choose a higher dose of zinc per tablet. Keep your total zinc intake from food and other supplements in mind.
Three forms of zinc in one tablet
Each tablet contains three zinc compounds: zinc bisglycinate, zinc gluconate, and zinc citrate, each 33 mg. Together they provide 25 mg of elemental zinc. Zinc bisglycinate is zinc bound to the amino acid glycine. Zinc gluconate and zinc citrate are two other commonly used salt forms, each with its own combination of zinc and a carrier molecule. By combining them instead of choosing a single source, a varied composition is created rather than a one-sided zinc source.
What zinc does in your body
Zinc is a trace element that your body does not produce itself and therefore must be obtained through food or supplements. Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the maintenance of normal skin, and the protection of cells against oxidative stress. In addition, zinc contributes to normal cognitive function, the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood, and normal fertility and reproduction. Zinc also plays a role in the cell division process and contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and normal nails. Furthermore, zinc contributes to the normal metabolism of macronutrients, fatty acids, and carbohydrates, and to normal DNA and protein synthesis.
How 25 mg compares to a lower dose
Vit4ever offers this zinc complex in a 25 mg version alongside a lower dose, so you can choose which amount per tablet suits you. For most people, a lower dose is sufficient. The EFSA sets a safe upper limit of 25 mg of zinc per day for adults from food and supplements combined; with this tablet, you will quickly reach or exceed that limit when combined with zinc from your diet. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist or choose the lower dose.
These zinc 25 mg tablets are vegan and contain no unnecessary additives. In addition to zinc itself, the tablet only contains microcrystalline cellulose and acacia fiber as fillers. With 400 tablets per bottle, you will have enough for a long time with daily use of 1 tablet, without having to reorder halfway through the year.
