Zinc, Global Healing

Our plant-based zinc is water-extracted from certified organic guava leaves, and this means that it's naturally bound to plant proteins and amino acids. Plant-based zinc naturally exists in three forms: ionic, chelated, and protein matrix. Ionic is a zinc ion with an unstable charge that likes to bind to other things like water, improving its bioavailability; chelated is zinc bound to another substance like an amino acid, another mineral, or other molecule; protein matrix is zinc bound to multiple amino acids. The following are the Other Ingredients: organic vegetable glycerin, triple-distilled biophotonic structured water, organic guar gum, ormus supercharged minerals.

Yes! The organic vegetable glycerin (from organic mustard seeds) makes the formula taste sweet. Rest assured that we do not add sugar to Zinc, and the glycerin has little impact on blood sugar levels. We find that vegetable glycerin is a better base than alcohol-based extracts and is more gentle too.

Please consider taking 1 ml once in the morning and 1 ml once in the afternoon or evening, with or without food, to ensure absorption.

We third-party test our raw materials and final product for purity and potency. Here you have more details: https://globalhealing.com/pages/quality-purity.

Our Zinc formula does not contain potassium. Unlike most zinc supplements, including zinc gluconate, zinc picolinate, zinc sulfate, and zinc citrate, which are made with synthetic forms of the mineral, the zinc in this formula is naturally bound to plant proteins and amino acids so your body can use it efficiently.

We derive our plant-based Zinc from certified organic guava leaves. The exact location is proprietary and may vary based on season and availability. Rest assured that we always third-party test our ingredients for potency and purity. Here you have more details:https://globalhealing.com/pages/quality-purity.

Guar gum is used as a thickener and stabilizer. Additionally, guar gum is considered a healthy fibrous prebiotic. Because small amounts of guar gum help settle the stomach and intestinal irritation in some individuals, it may also offset the discomfort and nausea that a small percentage of people experience when taking the mineral zinc.

It's been safe to take Turmeric and Moringa at the same time. We recommend taking Zinc two hours away from most other supplements to ensure maximum absorption.

Zinc typically has a two-year shelf-life after the purchase date. While Zinc is still considered safe after the Best By Date, it may also lose its potency. So, you can consume the product at your discretion after the official Best By Date. If you need more help, please don't hesitate to contact us at https://globalhealing.com/pages/contact.

Our plant-based zinc is water-extracted from certified organic guava leaves; however, guava leaves are not in our formula per se. We isolate the zinc specifically from the leaves to create this product, and there is no detectable amount of copper in Zinc. If you are looking to elevate your wellness routine with copper I, checkout Cu1 at https://globalhealing.com/products/copper-1.

Our certified organic liquid formula contains Zinc derived and extracted from guava leaves; the formula does not contain guava leaves per se. We recommend taking 1 ml of Zinc twice daily, with or without food. Each 1 ml contains 7.5 mg of Zinc.

We do not anticipate this to be an issue and recommend following the suggested use on the label for optimal results. As always, if you have any concerns, please also consider checking with your healthcare provider of choice for additional tips and guidance.

In our experience, zinc supplements do not cause a copper deficiency unless you are taking over 100mg of zinc per day. Rest assured that our formula provides 15 mg of zinc per day when taken as directed, and this is considered safe and effective for filling in the gaps in one's diet.

Rest assured that our droppers have graduated measurements, so you can easily measure and take 1 ml twice daily. The serving size of 1 ml is approximately one dropperful.

Yes! You can safely put Zinc into vegetarian capsules if you prefer.

We suggest taking other supplements and medications at least two hours apart from taking Zinc to avoid interactions. So, you can take Zinc and B12 Blend on the same day, two hours apart from each other. Because our zinc is plant-based, stomach upset is rarely reported. Zinc is gentler on the stomach than other zinc supplements and can be taken with or without food, depending on your preference and digestive sensitivities. There is no upper limit on vitamin B12, and even extremely high servings of B12 are safe, beneficial, and without side effects. As a water-soluble vitamin, the excess is excreted in your urine. In fact, paramedics use hydroxocobalamin in extremely high amounts — five to 10 grams intravenously — for patients with cyanide poisoning. It's ideal for taking 1 ml of Zinc twice daily, with or without food, directly in your mouth and swallowing. For B12 Blend, take 1 ml, hold in mouth for 15 seconds, and then swallow. Use daily in the morning or early afternoon. It's best taken on an empty stomach about 20 minutes before a meal.  As always, if you have any concerns, please consider consulting your healthcare provider for additional tips and guidance.

Zinc does not require refrigeration and you can keep it at room temperature safely. We hope this helps!

We mostly recommend that customers take medications at least two hours after taking zinc to avoid interactions. Zinc may also interfere with the effectiveness of certain antibiotics. However, if you're only taking supplements, then the two-hour gap is suggested to ensure maximum absorption, but it's not as vital in these cases, and you can consume it as needed at your discretion.

Zinc is a necessary nutrient while pregnant or breastfeeding, and generally, we recommend taking 1 ml of Zinc twice daily; however, please also check in with your healthcare provider to ensure that you get the appropriate amount of zinc for your needs and situation.

We generally recommend taking 1 ml twice daily directly by mouth, with or without food. Since it's very bioavailable, you can swallow the suggested serving immediately, or if you prefer, you can leave it under your tongue for any amount of time.

Our vegan liquid blend is a highly bioavailable, plant-based zinc that’s water-extracted from certified organic guava leaves. The plant-based formula is all-natural and gentle on your stomach. Unlike most zinc supplements, including zinc gluconate, zinc picolinate, zinc sulfate, and zinc citrate, which are made with synthetic forms of the mineral, the zinc in this formula is naturally bound to plant proteins and amino acids so your body can use it efficiently. To ensure maximum absorption, we recommend taking 1 ml (7.5 mg) twice daily or as directed by your healthcare provider.

That is a great question and generally, we suggest keeping all vitamins and supplements at least 15 to 20 minutes apart to ensure proper absorption. As such, we would recommend the same of these products and you can consider starting with B-12 in the early morning and following this with a 15-minute wait before moving onto Zinc. We hope this helps and please let us know if you have any other questions.

Zinc typically has a shelf-life of two years from the time of purchase. We also print the Best By Dates on the bottom of our bottles and near the bottle's neck, right below the black cap. Also, since our formula is gentler on the stomach than other zinc supplements, it can be taken with or without food. You can also add it to a smoothie; that's as effective as taking the supplement orally.

Due to the potency, Zinc is only recommended for adults 18 years and up. Please check with your child's healthcare provider before use.

We suggest taking 1 ml (7.5 mg) of our Zinc twice daily. The total daily serving equals 15 mg. This amount is within the recommended dietary allowance and considered safe. You can typically take Zinc daily or intermittently (if you prefer) to fill in the gaps in your diet. As always, if you have any initial concerns, please consider checking in with your healthcare provider for additional tips and guidance.

Our Zinc formula naturally has a dark, brown color.

Zinc does not require refrigeration and can be kept safely at room temperature.

Because our zinc is naturally bound to plant proteins and amino acids, it’s in a form your body can use quickly and efficiently. Also, zinc from guava leaves includes the naturally occurring coenzymes and cofactors the body recognizes to enhance the bioavailability of our formula. We have also added [Energized Trace Minerals](https://globalhealing.com/natural-health/energized-trace-mineral/) to maximize the absorption further, so you get the most therapeutic value.

Zinc is a necessary nutrient for everyone. Since our formula is mainly for adults 18 years and up, it may help to speak with your child's healthcare provider to discuss an appropriate serving size. You can also consider [intraKID 2.0](https://globalhealing.com/intrakid?q=intrakid), an all-in-one support formula (with zinc) for children 4-12 years old.
