Puritan’s Pride Zinc Gluconate 25 mg: a once-daily vegetarian tablet
Puritan’s Pride Zinc gives 25 mg of zinc as zinc gluconate in one coated vegetarian tablet, and the bottle holds 100 tablets, 100 days at one a day. Zinc gluconate is one of the most common and well-tolerated forms of zinc. Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to the maintenance of normal hair, nails and skin, to the maintenance of normal vision and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. It suits adults who want a simple daily zinc tablet, for example when their diet is low in meat, seafood or whole grains. One tablet is a full daily dose, so it isn’t meant to be stacked with other zinc products.

Puritan’s Pride Zinc questions
How much zinc is in Puritan’s Pride Zinc?
Each tablet gives 25 mg of zinc as zinc gluconate. The bottle holds 100 tablets, 100 days at one a day.
Is 25 mg of zinc a day too much?
25 mg is the daily upper level European food-safety guidance sets for adults from supplements and food together, so one tablet is a full dose. Don’t add another zinc product or a high-zinc multivitamin on top, and if you take it for many months, ask your doctor, because long-term high zinc can lower copper.
When should I take zinc?
Take 1 tablet a day with a meal. Zinc on an empty stomach can cause nausea. Keep it two hours apart from iron or calcium supplements and from some antibiotics, which compete with zinc for absorption.
What does zinc do?
Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to the maintenance of normal hair, nails and skin, to the maintenance of normal vision, and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Is it vegetarian?
Yes. The tablets are marked vegetarian and are coated for easier swallowing; the other ingredients are cellulose, dicalcium phosphate, croscarmellose, vegetable stearic acid, silica, cellulose coating and vegetable magnesium stearate. Food supplements don’t replace a varied diet. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, taking medication or have a medical condition, ask your doctor first.
