Our assessment
The evidence shows that this product contains 100 mg of zinc, but the data provided is for calcium, not zinc. We cannot confirm the safety or efficacy of this specific supplement based on the available data. Our assessment is that you should be cautious, as the information we have is for a different ingredient.
How it works
