NutraBio Zinc Gluconate 50 Milligrams
Brand: NutraBio · Form: POWDER [E0162]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that calcium is a critical mineral for bone health, but the data provided does not confirm that NutraBio Zinc Gluconate 50 Milligrams contains calcium. Data not available for the specific product ingredients beyond the label reference. For calcium specifically, the data supports a role in bone mineralization and neuromuscular relaxation [NIH ODS].
How it works
Think of calcium as a builder and relaxer for your body. It supports bone density by helping deposit minerals into your skeleton, and it helps your muscles relax and your nerves signal properly after they contract [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements. For calcium specifically, high intakes may increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer [NIH ODS]. Side effects from very high 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
Since the data does not confirm that NutraBio Zinc Gluconate 50 Milligrams contains calcium, you should check the product label for calcium content. If you are taking calcium separately, be aware it can reduce absorption of bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS]. Always take calcium at a different time from these medications.
