Nature's Bounty Zinc 50mg, Immune Support & Antioxidant Supplement, Promotes Skin Health 250 Caplets

Makes a huge difference with my health

I like that this one contains a lot of capsules. I take this in combination with 500 mg quercetin and it helps me avoid cold-like and flu-like symptoms I'm otherwise prone to. I learned about Quercetin from a doctor of functional medicine that was on the Joe Rogan show. He said zinc can't really get into the cell without a carrier, quercetin being one of those. I notice an immediate difference when I discontinue quercetin or zinc. They work amazing together, even helping some people alleviate their allergies or with post-covid syndrome. Try the combination

Great product, best deal for your money!

I just bought 3 bottles of Zinc supplements within 1 week. The pills are easy to swallows and they don't have any bad flavor. They are flavorless. This is the best value for your money because you get 250 caplets per bottle and it is cheaper to buy it here compared to other websites or other sellers. Also their expiration date is in Feb 2025, I still have 4 years to use them. That's why I just stocked up for the next 3 years

Be careful with this!

What most of you don't know is that this is not 50mg of Zinc Gluconate but 50mg of elemental zinc from zinc gluconate. That is 10mg more than daily tolerable limit of 40mg. I would highly suggest you either split your tablets and start consuming them half (25mg) or buy copper supplements to avoid the adverse effects of overconsumption of zinc. Yes, overconsuming Zinc is dangerous. I wonder why all these supplement companies do not provide a warning label about this issue anywhere on the package. It would be a good business for them since they would also sell us copper supplements. I initially bought this thinking that I was getting 7mg of elemental zinc from 50mg of zinc gluconate (perfect for micro-dosing). But the company has confirmed to several customers that 50mg is elemental zinc

Good value and seems to help with energy levels during workouts

I don't now how effective zinc supplementation is for immune support, but it seems to give me a lasting energy boost for workouts and that's why I continue to take it. I do notice if I take it too close to bedtime I have a hard time falling asleep, so I try to take it a minimum of 4 hours before bed. The flavor of the pills is a bit gross. They are uncoated and will start to dissolve and leave a bitter taste, so I try to swallow them as quickly as possible. I've also noticed they will cause a bit of nausea/stomach upset if taken on an empty stomach or too soon before or after a meal. I've read that this is the case with many zinc supplements and not the fault of this brand, but I just wanted to mention it. Overall, I think this particular supplement is good value for the money and seems to work for me

50MG ELEMENTAL ZINC

It's not often I write a review of a product, but felt there was a lot of confusion amongst buyers whether each tablet is 50mg elemental Zinc or just Zinc Gluconate. After calling and speaking with Nature Bounty's customer center, they confirmed that each tablet is 50mg of elemental Zinc and that their supplement facts on all products signify the elemental quantity (wouldn't be a bad idea to explicitly state that on their bottles). As for a review for the product, the 250 quantity is great value and I didn't have issues cutting the tablets in half as 50mg a day is generally considered too high of a dose long term. The tablets are unflavored (a little bitter) and are 1.5cm in size for a full tablet, so not very large for those having trouble swallowing supplements. Taking 25mg a day will last 500 days for me, so again pretty great value. Zinc is often sited as having benefits for skin & hair health as well as immune response, but be aware it is best to take after eating to prevent nausea

It's zinc! What else can I say?

This is a quality product. However, it's important to note that the dosage is above the upper limit, so as a dietetic student I would not recommend taking it every single day

Good for price

Bought these and a bunch of other vitamins for my husband who has stage IV pancreatic cancer. I researched vitamins to raise his red and white blood cell counts. They came out normal for a few weeks. This week they were low but I will try anything. And these were a good price considering he takes about 7 different vitamin

Part of a healthy routine

I take these zinc tablets along with some other supplements. After 6 months, there's a noticeable increase in my health, and I am objectively more productive. It took a while to see results, but I feel loads better than I have in years. Because I started taking multiple supplements at the same time, it's hard to say which one is making a bigger impact, but all of them together have improved things even more than I was shooting for

Zinc for the immune system

I have been taking this brand of zinc for the last few years every evening. I rarely get colds and when I do they are brief. While I have had a few issues with some other brands of zinc, these vitamins are gentle on the stomach

Zinc for your dink

Take your zinc for a healthy dink. Actually, for a healthy prostate, but you get the idea. And yes, it improves things
