Zinc gluconate

Zinc gluconate is a supplement that provides zinc, an essential mineral vital for immune function, wound healing, and enzyme activity. It is a compound formed by combining zinc with gluconic acid, making it easier for the body to absorb. Commonly used to support immune health and reduce the duration of colds, zinc gluconate is available in tablet or lozenge form. While beneficial in appropriate doses, excessive intake can cause side effects such as nausea or interfere with copper absorption. It is generally safe when used as directed and can be an effective way to maintain zinc levels.
