Zinc Glucinate

Zinc Gluconate 50mg

Zinc is an essential trace mineral required for the activity of over 300 enzymes and involved in numerous aspects of cellular metabolism. It is the second most abundant trace mineral in the human body after iron, and is found in every cell. Zinc is classified as an essential nutrient — the body cannot synthesise or store it, making regular dietary intake or supplementation necessary to maintain adequate levels.

Zinc Gluconate is a highly bioavailable organic zinc salt formed by the combination of zinc with gluconic acid. It is one of the most well-absorbed and well-tolerated forms of zinc available as a dietary supplement, with a gentler gastric profile than zinc sulphate. Each capsule provides 50mg of elemental Zinc Gluconate. Not recommended for long-term continuous use at this dose without practitioner guidance.

Key Nutritional Roles of Zinc

• Immune function — zinc is required for the normal development and function of immune cells including T-lymphocytes, natural killer cells, and neutrophils; it is one of the most important minerals for immune wellness
• Skin, hair & nail wellness — zinc is required for keratin and collagen synthesis; it plays a key role in skin cell turnover, wound healing, and the maintenance of healthy skin, hair, and nails
• Cognitive function — zinc is required for normal cognitive function and neurotransmitter signalling; it is found in high concentrations in the hippocampus and plays a role in memory and learning
• Reproductive wellness — zinc is required for normal reproductive function in both males and females; it plays a key role in testosterone metabolism, sperm production, and ovarian function
• Antioxidant function — zinc is a component of superoxide dismutase (SOD), one of the body’s primary endogenous antioxidant enzymes
• Protein & DNA synthesis — zinc is required for RNA polymerase activity and is essential for protein synthesis, cell division, and DNA repair
• Carbohydrate metabolism — zinc is required for insulin synthesis and storage, and plays a role in carbohydrate metabolism
• Sensory function — zinc is required for normal taste and smell function; zinc insufficiency is associated with altered taste and smell perception
• Eye wellness — zinc is found in high concentrations in the retina and plays a role in visual function and eye wellness
• Bone wellness — zinc is required for bone mineralisation and osteoblast activity

Why Zinc Gluconate

Zinc Gluconate is one of the most bioavailable and well-tolerated forms of zinc available as a dietary supplement. Its organic gluconate salt form is more readily absorbed than inorganic zinc forms such as zinc oxide, and is gentler on the digestive tract than zinc sulphate. It is one of the most widely used and researched zinc supplement forms in contemporary nutritional practice.

How to Use

Take 1 capsule daily as a dietary supplement, or as directed by your healthcare practitioner. Best taken with food to minimise gastric discomfort. Not recommended for long-term continuous use at 50mg without practitioner guidance — consult your healthcare practitioner for ongoing zinc supplementation needs.

Precautions

Not recommended for long-term continuous use at this dose without practitioner guidance. Zinc and copper share absorption pathways — long-term high-dose zinc supplementation may affect copper nutritional status; consult your healthcare practitioner if using long-term. May cause gastric discomfort if taken on an empty stomach — take with food. Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Consult your healthcare practitioner before use if you are taking antibiotics or other medications — zinc may affect the absorption of certain medications. Keep out of reach of children.
