What is Zinc Gluconate?
Zinc gluconate is a mineral that benefits immune, heart, and skin health. It’s also added to toothpastes to keep gums healthy.
Zinc gluconate has a higher bioavailability than other forms of zinc.
How to Take Zinc Gluconate
As a dietary supplement, take 225 mg (1/16 tsp) to 450 mg (1/8 tsp) per day, or as directed by physician.
The daily recommendation for zinc is 15 mg per day. Since this powder contains 13% zinc, a 450 mg serving equals about 60 mg of elemental zinc.
Tips
This supplement is only partially soluble in water and will have a cloudy texture when mixed—this is normal. Zinc also has a naturally sour taste; mix into juice or the sweet beverage of your choice to dilute the flavor.
