RiskLow Risk
Overview
•Zinc at 22.5 mg exceeds RDA (11 mg) but is below UL (40 mg), making it safe for healthy adults; fermented form may reduce GI upset compared to other zinc types.
•Potential for copper deficiency with long-term use due to competitive absorption; monitor copper levels if using beyond 3 months.
•No major drug interactions in this formulation, but zinc may reduce absorption of quinolone/ tetracycline antibiotics if taken simultaneously.
•Safe for pregnancy at this dose, as it meets increased needs (11-12 mg RDA) without exceeding UL, potentially reducing preterm birth risk.
•Allergen-free: made without top 9 allergens (milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, wheat, fish, shellfish, sesame); suitable for sensitive individuals.
•Vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO; low contamination risk from reputable brand, but consult doctor for conditions like Wilson's disease.
