Analysis

Nature's Answer Zinc Plus 25 mg utilizes excellent forms of zinc, combining both Zinc Picolinate and Zinc Citrate for enhanced bioavailability, delivering a total of 25mg of zinc. It also includes 1mg of Copper Gluconate, which is a good form of copper, and importantly, Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate (P5P), the active form of Vitamin B6. While the zinc-to-copper ratio of 25:1 is slightly wider than the commonly recommended 15:1 for long-term optimal balance, the high quality of all included forms ensures good absorption. The addition of P5P further enhances its benefits by supporting various enzymatic reactions vital for metabolism and overall health.

Pros
  • Uses highly bioavailable forms of zinc (Picolinate and Citrate).
  • Includes well-absorbed Copper Gluconate.
  • Contains active Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal 5-Phosphate) for synergistic benefits.
  • Helps prevent copper deficiency by including copper.
Cons
  • The zinc-to-copper ratio (25:1) is slightly wider than optimal for very long-term daily use compared to a 15:1 standard.
  • Higher price per serving compared to some alternatives.
Warnings
  • For very long-term, high-dose zinc supplementation, a 25:1 Zn:Cu ratio might still eventually lead to mild copper deficiency in individuals with low dietary copper intake, though for 25mg zinc, this risk is generally low.
