A targeted zinc supplement built on a whole-food complex, paired with vitamin C from acerola cherry. Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails.
- 35 mg zinc, 350% NRV
- 120 capsules, two months
- 2 capsules a day
- + Vitamin C, acerola
-
The immune nutrient, added on purpose. Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system*, and vitamin C does the same.*
-
Skin, hair and nails, on one claim sheet. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, normal hair and normal nails.*
-
Oxidative stress, the quiet work. Zinc contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.*
Add with a reason. Here's the thinking.
Start with the bottle you already own.
Before buying this, read your multivitamin's label. Most already contain zinc, often near 100% NRV, and many carry vitamin C too. Add the amounts together: if your multi already covers you, you don't need this product, and we'd rather say so than sell a duplicate. Targeted zinc earns its place when there's a gap to fill or a deliberate reason to run zinc on its own.
If you're unsure whether you have a reason to add zinc at all, that's a pharmacist or GP question, and asking it first is exactly the habit this range tries to teach.
Why this formula
Why a whole-food complex?
The zinc here is zinc citrate at 35 mg per two-capsule serving (350% NRV), delivered alongside a declared whole foods blend (asparagus, beetroot, broccoli, green peas and spinach powders) and vitamin C from acerola cherry. The pairing is practical: both nutrients hold immune-system claims, and one serving carries both.
Who is this NOT for?
Anyone whose multivitamin already provides a full daily amount of zinc; taking both means totting up totals you don't need. Zinc is also a mineral where more is not better: long-term high intakes can interfere with copper, which is one reason the label's dose is the dose.
Benefit highlights, in full
(unedited field 4, kept for the accordion): - The immune nutrient, added on purpose. Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system*, and vitamin C does the same*, in one capsule you chose deliberately rather than acquired by default. - Skin, hair and nails, on one claim sheet. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, normal hair and normal nails*. One mineral, three authorised maintenance jobs, no invented extras. - Oxidative stress, the quiet work. Zinc contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress*, the unglamorous cellular housekeeping you never feel happening. - Vitamin C from acerola cherry. A whole-food source doing a named job: vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system*, alongside the zinc rather than in a second bottle. - Two capsules, two months. 120 capsules at two a day, 60 servings per bottle, read straight off the UK label. One small decision per day.

Questions
Do I need zinc if I already take a multivitamin?
Quite possibly not, and that's the first thing to check. Read the multivitamin's label: if zinc is at or near 100% NRV there, adding this doubles up. Targeted zinc is for when your routine has an actual gap, not for stacking.
What does "whole-food complex" mean here?
The zinc, as zinc citrate, travels with a declared whole foods blend of asparagus, beetroot, broccoli, green peas and spinach powders, paired with vitamin C sourced from acerola cherry. The exact declared forms and amounts are in the composition table on this page.
Why is vitamin C in it?
Because it shares the job: vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the same authorised claim zinc holds. One capsule carries both, which keeps a targeted routine to a single decision.
Can I take more than the serving?
No, and with zinc that answer matters more than usual. The label's serving is two capsules a day and its dose is the dose; long-term high zinc intakes can interfere with copper absorption. If you think you need more zinc than this provides, that's a conversation for a GP or pharmacist.
How do I know what's in it?
The nutrition table on this page lists every nutrient, its form, the amount and the %NRV. Every bottle carries its batch number and best-before date.
How long does a bottle last?
Two months, at two capsules a day: 120 capsules is 60 servings. One small daily decision, then a reorder.
What to expect
Days 1 to 14: Nothing to feel, and that's normal. Zinc's authorised jobs are maintenance jobs, and maintenance doesn't announce itself. Anchor the capsule to the same meal each day.
Weeks 4 to 8: The routine is automatic by now, which is what you actually bought: a deliberate nutrient, showing up daily, no thought required.
Ongoing: One bottle is two months. Set the reorder rhythm once. If your multivitamin changes, redo the overlap check before the next bottle.

Our in-house nutrition tip
What I look for before recommending any targeted mineral is a reason. With zinc I ask people to open their multivitamin first and read the zinc line, because most good multis already carry it and duplication helps nobody. If there's a genuine gap, this is the format I'd pick: a whole-food zinc complex with acerola-sourced vitamin C in one daily serving, both nutrients carrying real authorised claims and nothing invented on top. And to be clear about what it is not: more is not better with zinc, and the label's dose is the dose. Add it with a reason, or happily don't add it at all.
