NATURE’S WAY ZINC 60 TAB

Nature’s Way Zinc Lozenges: zinc, vitamin C and echinacea, 60 vegan lozenges

Nature’s Way Zinc Lozenges are wild berry zinc lozenges that dissolve in your mouth. Each one gives 23 mg zinc, 100 mg vitamin C and 20 mg Echinacea purpurea. Zinc and vitamin C contribute to the normal function of the immune system. The label is built for short-term use: 1 lozenge every two hours, up to 6 a day, for no more than 7 days. The bottle holds 60 vegan, gluten-free lozenges. They suit adults who want zinc and vitamin C for a few days in a form they can take without water, at work or on the go. They are not a daily zinc supplement.

What’s in a serving (1 lozenge)

Other ingredients: sorbitol, fructose, mannitol, natural flavour, sodium bicarbonate, magnesium stearate, French vanilla flavour, stevia leaf extract.

Who it suits

• Short-term use: zinc and vitamin C for up to 7 days.
• No water needed: a lozenge that dissolves in your mouth.
• Vegan and gluten-free, wild berry flavour.
• Want daily zinc instead? See lower-dose zinc tablets, or all immune support.

How to use

Adults: let 1 lozenge dissolve completely in your mouth every two hours, up to 6 lozenges a day. Don’t chew it or swallow it whole, and don’t take it on an empty stomach, as it can upset your stomach. Don’t use it for more than 7 days, and don’t take other zinc supplements at the same time. Excessive consumption may have laxative effects. Store in a cool, dry place.

Pack size

60 lozenges: enough for 10 days at the maximum of 6 a day, though the label limits each course to 7 days. See the full Nature’s Way range.

Zinc lozenge questions

What’s in each lozenge?

One wild berry lozenge gives 23 mg zinc (as zinc citrate and gluconate), 100 mg vitamin C and 20 mg Echinacea purpurea, with 1 g of carbohydrate. It is sweetened with sorbitol, fructose, mannitol and stevia, and is vegan and gluten-free.

How do I take it?

Let 1 lozenge dissolve slowly in your mouth; don’t chew it or swallow it whole. Adults can take 1 every two hours, up to 6 a day, and not on an empty stomach. Don’t use it for more than 7 days in a row.

Why only 7 days?

Each lozenge has 23 mg of zinc, close to the 25 mg a day that EU food-safety experts set as the safe upper level for long-term use. At the label maximum of 6 a day you’d take 138 mg, which is only meant for a few days. For everyday zinc, choose a lower-dose zinc tablet instead.

What does it do?

Zinc and vitamin C contribute to the normal function of the immune system. There are no authorised health claims for echinacea. A lozenge is a convenient way to take zinc and vitamin C for a few days when you want them.

Who should not use it?

Not for under-18s or people with an autoimmune condition. Use with caution if you are allergic to ragweed or other plants in the daisy (Asteraceae) family. Don’t take other zinc supplements at the same time. Sorbitol and mannitol can have a laxative effect if you take too many. 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.
