Nature's Harmony Zinc Citrate provides 50 mg of elemental zinc as zinc citrate a highly absorbable form of this important mineral. Zinc is used for growth and development and for the health of body tissues and the immune system.

Ingredients

Zinc is a mineral that is found in high concentrations in the eyes, kidneys, brain, liver, muscle, bone, hair and male reproductive organs. Zinc is not readily stored in the body and, therefore, we are dependent on a continual supply from the diet. Zinc is essential for male sexual function and healthy fetal development.

Zinc supplementation is used in the treatment of Wilson's disease (excessive copper in the body), macular degeneration, mood disorders, epilepsy, rheumatoid arthritis, bowel disorders and dementia. It is also used to decrease the length of colds, boost the immune system, promote wound healing and protect against prostate cancer.

Generally well tolerated. High doses may cause adverse reactions. The most common adverse reactions are gastrointestinal and include nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal discomfort. Other adverse reactions include a metallic taste, headache and drowsiness. Amounts over 150 mg per day may cause toxicity.
