Country Life Chelated Zinc 50 mg Tablets

Country Life Chelated Zinc 50 mg in Pakistan

How much zinc is in your food, and where does a 50 mg supplement fit?

How Much Zinc Are You Getting From Food?

Before choosing a zinc supplement, it helps to know what a normal day of food provides. Approximate amounts per serving:

What this shows: a diet built around roti, daal and vegetables, with meat only occasionally, can fall short of daily needs. A day with meat, yogurt and pulses gets much closer.

Daily requirement (US guidance): 11 mg for men, 8 mg for women, with slightly higher amounts in pregnancy and breastfeeding. The tolerable upper limit for adults is 40 mg per day.

Where 50 mg Fits

This capsule provides 50 mg of zinc, which is above the daily upper limit of 40 mg for adults and several times the daily requirement. That makes it a high-strength product, best used:

• exactly as directed on the label, and
• preferably for a limited period under the guidance of a doctor or pharmacist.

Food already gives you zinc, so a full 50 mg on top can push your total intake well above the limit if taken every day for a long time.

The Zinc and Copper Balance

Zinc and copper compete for absorption in the gut. Taking high doses of zinc for a long time can lower copper levels, which may lead to problems such as anaemia and weakened immune function.

Some supplement makers add a small amount of copper to zinc formulas to help keep this in balance. [Check your label: does this product contain copper?] Whether or not it does, avoid taking high-dose zinc for an open-ended period.

What "Chelated" Means

A chelated mineral is bound to another molecule, often an amino acid, to help keep it stable in the digestive tract. Many people choose chelated zinc for its absorption and tolerance. Research comparing zinc forms is limited, so we do not claim it is better than others. Check your label for the exact form.

Our Two Zinc Options Side by Side

Both are high-strength. Compare the zinc form, extra ingredients, servings per bottle and price on each label.

How to Take It

1. Take [1 capsule, or as directed on the label], with food. Zinc on an empty stomach often causes nausea.
2. Leave about 2 hours between zinc and iron or calcium supplements.
3. Ask your pharmacist about timing if you take antibiotics such as tetracyclines or quinolones, since zinc can reduce their absorption.
4. Keep chai away from the capsule and drink it at another time.
5. Add up the zinc from any multivitamin, immunity blend or lozenge you also use.
