Metagenics Zinc Tally
Brand: Metagenics · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that Metagenics Zinc Tally is a supplement intended to provide zinc, but based on the data provided, we cannot assess its specific effects. The only ingredient with data is calcium, not zinc. The data indicates that calcium supports bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS]. However, you should be aware that high calcium intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a key structural component — it helps your body build and maintain strong bones through bone mineralization and supports proper muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. For the specific ingredient zinc in this product, data is not available from the provided sources.
Safety profile
Safety data for this specific product is limited. The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all dietary supplements, but specific reports for Metagenics Zinc Tally are not available in the provided data [FDA data]. For the calcium component, high levels in the blood and urine 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 the absorption of medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
We cannot make a confident recommendation for this product because the data provided contains no studies on Metagenics Zinc Tally or its zinc content. The safety and efficacy information for this specific formulation is not available. You should consult with your healthcare provider before starting this supplement, especially if you take any medications that interact with calcium [NIH ODS].
