leaderboard Score 50.0
A multi-ingredient immune boost formula using a less bioavailable zinc form; primarily for general immune support, not optimal for standalone zinc needs.
This product aims to provide comprehensive immune support through a blend of various ingredients. While it includes 15mg of zinc, the choice of Zinc Oxide is a notable weakness for systemic zinc benefits, as it is known for poor absorption compared to other forms. The product's value is in its synergistic blend of other immune-boosting compounds like EpiCor, a fermented yeast extract, and essential vitamins and minerals (Vitamin D3, C, Selenium). It serves as a general immune complex, but if a user is specifically targeting zinc supplementation for general health, hair, or skin, there are much more effective and cost-efficient options available.
- Comprehensive blend of immune-supporting ingredients (EpiCor, Vitamin D3, C, Selenium).
- From Natrol, a widely recognized brand.
- Convenient single capsule for multiple immune benefits.
- Uses Zinc Oxide, a less bioavailable form of zinc for systemic absorption.
- High price per serving if only zinc benefits are desired.
- Not a dedicated zinc supplement.
- Users primarily seeking effective systemic zinc supplementation for general health or specific deficiencies should choose a product with a more bioavailable zinc form (e.g., picolinate, citrate, gluconate).

Categories
Zinc 50.0
Within the zinc collection, this product is suboptimal as a primary zinc source due to its use of zinc oxide, a less bioavailable form, and its identity as a broader immune blend rather than a dedicated zinc supplement.
Goals
Immunity 80.0
This product is designed for general immunity, and its blend of multiple ingredients (EpiCor, Vit C, D3, Selenium, Zinc) offers broad support. While the zinc form is not ideal, the overall synergistic effect of the blend contributes well to immune health.
General Health 60.0
As a general health supplement, it offers a range of nutrients, but the less bioavailable zinc form and high price mean it's not the most efficient source for fundamental zinc support across all general health functions.
Anti-Inflammatory Support 60.0
Some ingredients like Vitamin C and Selenium have anti-inflammatory effects. While zinc also contributes, the less bioavailable zinc oxide means its direct anti-inflammatory contribution from zinc alone is limited compared to better forms.
