Our assessment
The evidence shows that Moss Nutrition Zinc Select is a mineral supplement, but the data provided does not include specific information on zinc. The available data is for calcium. Our assessment is that without specific data on zinc, we cannot evaluate the benefits of this product. For general mineral support, calcium is essential for bone health, but the specific effects of this product are unknown based on the data provided.
How it works
Based on the data for calcium, this mineral supports bone mineralization and density, and helps with neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. Think of calcium as a building block for your skeleton and a regulator for your muscles and nerves. However, please note this data applies to calcium, not the zinc in this product specifically.
Safety profile
Data not available for zinc. For general mineral safety, FDA received 592059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. High levels of calcium can cause poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Start by consulting with your healthcare provider before taking this supplement. Because the data provided does not include specific information on zinc, we cannot make a confident recommendation for Moss Nutrition Zinc Select. If you are considering a mineral supplement, be aware of the risks and interactions associated with calcium, which is a common co-ingredient [NIH ODS]. Always choose a product that has been third-party tested for quality.
