Nature's Best Zinc 15mg is a zinc citrate supplement providing 150% of the EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) of 10mg per tablet. Zinc citrate is one of the more bioavailable forms of zinc, meaning the body absorbs and uses it more efficiently than less soluble forms such as zinc oxide.

This product supports immune function, skin, hair, nails, vision, cognitive function, normal fertility and reproduction, bone health, and protection of cells from oxidative stress.

What Is Zinc Citrate, and Why Does the Form Matter?

Zinc is available in several supplemental forms - citrate, oxide, gluconate, picolinate and sulphate among them - and these differ in how easily the body absorbs them. Zinc citrate is a chelated, water-soluble form generally recognised as more bioavailable than zinc oxide, one of the cheapest and least absorbable forms commonly used in supplements. Choosing a citrate form means more of the stated 15mg is available for the body to actually use, rather than passing through unabsorbed.

What Does Zinc Do in the Body? (EFSA-Authorised Health Claims)

Zinc is an essential trace mineral, meaning the body cannot produce it and it must come from diet or supplementation. The following claims are authorised under EU/UK health claim regulations for zinc-containing supplements:

  • Immune function: Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
  • Skin, hair and nails:  Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails.
  • Vision: Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.
  • Cognitive function: Zinc contributes to normal cognitive function.
  • Fertility and reproduction: Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction, and to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood.
  • Bone maintenance: Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
  • Cellular health: Zinc contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
  • Macronutrient metabolism: Zinc contributes to normal carbohydrate metabolism and normal protein synthesis.

Who Are Zinc Supplements for?

Zinc supplementation is most commonly considered by:

  • Vegetarians and vegans, as plant-based diets often contain phytates (found in legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds) which can inhibit zinc absorption, leading to lower bioavailable zinc levels.
  • Adults seeking general immune and skin health support.
  • Older adults as the body’s ability to absorb nutrients effectively reduces with age.
  • Anyone whose diet may not consistently meet the NRV of 10mg/day.

This is a food supplement, not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet. Anyone pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication, or with a medical condition should check with a healthcare professional before taking any new supplement.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions
