Our expert Nutrition Advisors recommend our maximum strength Zinc Citrate 25mg for short-term use (around 6-12 month’s) for those who have been given a low zinc status by their health practitioner to help elevate levels quickly.
There are various forms of zinc, but our research, supported by published studies, identified that zinc in citrate form is one of the best absorbed forms.
Since our multivitamins all contain zinc, we don’t recommend taking Zinc Citrate 25mg alongside a multi as it may exceed the upper safe level of 40mg a day for adults. For a lower strength zinc supplement suitable to take with a multi or as a maintenance dose please take a look at our Zinc Citrate 15mg.
Animal-based products are the main sources of zinc, so many people experience low levels on a plant-based diet. Zinc is needed for cell renewal, immune function and metabolism. Beyond optimising your intake of zinc-rich, plant foods, like legumes (chickpeas, kidney beans), nuts, seeds, and whole grains, taking a zinc supplement is a simple and effective way to support your nutritional needs. This product is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.
We've chosen to provide our zinc citrate supplement in tablets, not capsules, since they can accommodate large quantities of premium, fine-grade zinc citrate in each convenient dose.
To ensure our quality standards are always met, we manufacture and package Zinc Citrate 25mg in UK factories working to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).
