NOW Foods \u003cstrong\u003ezinc gluconate\u003c\/strong\u003e provides 50 mg of zinc per tablet, bound to gluconic acid. This is a simple formula entirely dedicated to a single mineral, with a fixed amount per tablet. One jar contains 250 tablets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is zinc?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc is a trace element: a mineral your body needs in small quantities and cannot produce itself. It is found in food, particularly in meat, seafood and shellfish, nuts, seeds, and whole grains. In the body, zinc is involved in hundreds of enzymes and plays a role in many processes, from the immune system to the skin. People who consume few animal products may receive less zinc, as zinc from plant sources is generally less well absorbed. Since the body does not build up a significant reserve of zinc, a regular intake through diet is important, and some people opt for a supplement to specifically top up. In this product, zinc is bound to gluconic acid, one of the forms commonly used in zinc supplements; this bond is called zinc gluconate. The form in which a mineral is bound partly determines the taste and dissolution of the product, but what ultimately matters is the amount of elemental zinc, clearly indicated on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat zinc contributes to\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and to the maintenance of normal skin, normal hair, and normal nails. Zinc also helps protect cells from oxidative stress, contributes to normal acid-base metabolism and normal carbohydrate metabolism, as well as normal fatty acid metabolism. Zinc also contributes to normal fertility and reproduction, the maintenance of normal bones, and the maintenance of normal vision. Zinc is thus involved in a wide range of bodily processes. The full list of approved health claims for zinc can be found further down this page. These zinc gluconate tablets are therefore a targeted choice for those not looking for a broad multivitamin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA simple, high-dose formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 50 mg of zinc per tablet, this product is well above the reference intake, as also shown in the table on the label. This is a deliberately streamlined formula: zinc gluconate as the active substance, with only a few functional excipients such as microcrystalline cellulose and a vegetarian coating. There is no broad mineral blend included. As this is a high-dose product, a clear safety notice accompanies this product, which you can find further down this page and on the label. This notice includes information on the prolonged use of high doses of zinc in relation to copper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e250 tablets per jar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA jar of zinc gluconate contains 250 tablets, a generous supply that lasts a long time with daily use and keeps the price per dose low. This is a simple product, entirely dedicated to zinc, without any other added vitamins or minerals. Zinc gluconate is one of the classic and most commonly used forms of zinc in supplements, valued for its simplicity and recognizability. In summary: a clear, high-dose zinc formula from a reputable brand known for its accurate labels and controlled production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49392691740900,"sku":"0733739015228","price":17.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/Zinc250tablettenNOWFoods.jpg?v=1783952219","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.fr\/en\/products\/now-gluconate-de-zinc-50-mg-250-comprimes-now-foods","provider":"LUTO Supplements France","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
