Effective zinc and Vitamin C lozenges using bioavailable forms, ideal for direct immune support and cold symptom relief.

Flavour: None
Analysis

These cherry-flavored lozenges are formulated with two well-absorbed forms of zinc, gluconate and citrate, ensuring good bioavailability. The inclusion of 200mg of Vitamin C further amplifies its immune-supportive properties, as Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant essential for immune function. As a lozenge, it's designed for direct action in the mouth and throat, making it particularly effective for alleviating cold symptoms and providing immediate immune defense. Country Life is a respected brand, adding to the product's credibility. The presence of some carbohydrates and calories is typical for a flavored lozenge.

Pros
  • Combines highly bioavailable Zinc Gluconate and Zinc Citrate.
  • Includes synergistic Vitamin C for enhanced immune support.
  • Lozenges provide direct, targeted action for throat comfort and immune defense.
  • Good value per serving.
Cons
  • Contains some carbohydrates and calories, which may be a minor consideration for some diets.
Warnings
  • Avoid prolonged use beyond recommended guidelines, especially for lozenges, to prevent potential copper imbalances or zinc toxicity.

Categories
Zinc 85.0
As a zinc supplement, this product stands out for its combination of well-absorbed forms (gluconate, citrate) and the added benefit of Vitamin C, making it a strong contender, particularly for immune-focused zinc needs delivered as a convenient lozenge.
Goals
Immunity 95.0
This product is exceptionally well-suited for immunity, especially during colds, due to the combination of bioavailable zinc forms and Vitamin C in a lozenge format. The direct contact allows for localized immune response in the throat, while systemic absorption supports overall immune function.
General Health 80.0
This product provides a good dose of bioavailable zinc and Vitamin C, which contributes to overall health by supporting various enzymatic functions and antioxidant defense. While the lozenge form is specific, the systemic absorption of zinc still aids general well-being.
Anti-Inflammatory Support 80.0
Both zinc and Vitamin C have anti-inflammatory properties, making this product beneficial for reducing systemic inflammation. The bioavailable forms ensure good absorption, allowing the nutrients to modulate inflammatory pathways effectively throughout the body.
