leaderboard Score 75.0
A well-formulated zinc lozenge with multiple bioavailable forms and Vitamin C, highly effective for acute immune support, especially for cold symptoms, but less suited for general zinc needs.
Source Naturals Wellness Zinc Lozenges provide 23mg of elemental zinc derived from a blend of Zinc Gluconate, Zinc Ascorbate, and Zinc Amino Acid Chelate. This multi-form approach enhances bioavailability and potentially reduces gastric upset. The 23mg dose is well-regarded for its effectiveness in lozenges for immune support, particularly by allowing direct contact with the throat. It also includes Vitamin C (27mg from Zinc Ascorbate), which is synergistic for immune health. The price per serving ($0.12) is reasonable for a specialized lozenge. While excellent for targeted cold and flu symptom relief, these lozenges, like others, are not designed for routine, long-term systemic zinc supplementation and can cause temporary taste issues.
- Multiple highly bioavailable zinc forms
- Effective 23mg dose for lozenges
- Includes Vitamin C
- Convenient lozenge format for throat relief
- Can cause temporary taste distortion (metallic taste)
- Not intended for long-term daily systemic zinc supplementation
- May cause temporary metallic taste or nausea, especially if taken on an empty stomach.
- Not a suitable replacement for daily oral zinc supplements for general health.

Categories
Zinc 75.0
A well-formulated zinc product with good bioavailability suitable for specific acute immune needs, but its lozenge form limits its overall utility within the general zinc collection.
Goals
Immunity 90.0
The lozenge format with 23mg of bioavailable zinc and Vitamin C makes it highly effective for direct immune support, particularly during the onset of cold symptoms.
Anti-Inflammatory Support 65.0
Primarily targets local inflammation in the throat. For systemic anti-inflammatory benefits, consistent oral zinc is more appropriate.
Skin Health 60.0
The product's design as a lozenge for acute needs means it offers limited systemic benefit for long-term skin health compared to regular oral supplements.
