Our assessment
The evidence shows that Zinc Glycinate is a well-absorbed form of zinc, but for this specific product, data on zinc is not available. The only ingredient data provided is for Calcium, which is a different mineral. Based on the data we have, we cannot make a claim about the benefits of Zinc Glycinate from this supplement. If you are looking for calcium, our assessment below applies.
How it works
Think of calcium as a structural builder and a signal messenger. It supports bone mineralization and density, and it also helps your muscles relax and your nerves send signals properly [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. Side effects from high blood calcium levels include poor muscle tone, poor kidney function, low phosphate levels, constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Data not available for Zinc Glycinate specifically. For calcium, be aware that it can reduce the absorption of several medications including bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Always check with your doctor before starting a new supplement.
