Effects and benefits
Zinc citrate provides you with a trace element that is involved in over 300 metabolic processes. Your immune system, your hormones and your regeneration only function optimally with a sufficient supply of zinc. Physical exertion increases your requirement - this supplement quickly replenishes your stores.
How zinc citrate works in the body
You use the mineral for cell division, DNA synthesis and immune defense¹,⁴. The trace element contributes to the normal function of the immune system¹,³ and supports the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails. As an organic compound, zinc citrate is much better absorbed in the small intestine than other forms of zinc¹³,¹⁴ and enables rapid availability in the bloodstream.
High bioavailability for maximum absorption
This form of zinc has a demonstrably higher absorption rate than zinc oxide or zinc sulphate¹³,¹⁴. You absorb up to 61% of the active ingredient.
This means that more of it gets to where you need it. With zinc citrate tablets, bioavailability makes the difference between intake and actual effect.
Dosage and use
Half a zinc citrate tablet a day optimally covers your zinc requirement. Each tablet provides 50 mg, the recommended daily dose of half a tablet corresponds to around 25 mg zinc citrate with around 7.88 mg elemental zinc².
Take half a tablet with water and a meal. This improves absorption and avoids stomach irritation.
The content of 120 pieces lasts up to 8 months at this dosage.
How much zinc per day makes sense?
Adults need between 7 and 16 mg of the mineral per day, depending on gender and physical activity². Athletes have a higher requirement due to sweat and increased metabolism⁷,¹¹.
The recommended intake of zinc citrate 50 mg tablets is within the safe range and provides an effective dose. The specified daily intake should not be exceeded.
Safe use and tolerability
At the recommended dosage, this form of zinc is well tolerated⁸. Take the preparation with a meal - not on an empty stomach.
Avoid taking it at the same time as coffee or calcium-rich foods, as these can impair absorption. This dietary supplement is not a substitute for a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
