Health Benefits of Zinc

Zinc is a mineral and is best absorbed when taken with food.

Zinc absorption can be inhibited by foods such as whole-grain breads & cereals.

The Autumn formulation also contains copper, to reduce risk of copper deficiency with long-term zinc supplementation.

Zinc can be found in meat, shellfish, nuts and seeds. Examples of these include beef, oysters, crab, lobster, cashews, and pumpkin seeds.

Zinc levels can be measured in your blood by a health care practitioner to help confirm ideal dosing and safety.

Zinc in large doses can be toxic, so keep away from children and consult a health care practitioner if you have any concerns about what dose is right for you.
