What is in one daily serving?

A whole tablet contains 250 mg of zinc bisglycinate with 50 mg of zinc. The daily serving is half a tablet, i.e. 125 mg of zinc bisglycinate with 25 mg of zinc. This corresponds to 250% of the nutrient reference value (NRV).

Why half a tablet?

The tablet is designed to be split: 150 tablets thus become 300 daily servings. The easiest way to halve the tablet is with a pill splitter or a sharp knife; the second half is the serving for the next day.

Zinc in the diet

Zinc is found mainly in meat, cheese, eggs, wholegrain products, pulses and nuts. How much of it the body absorbs also depends on the phytate content of the meal, which is high mainly in wholegrain foods and pulses.

For this reason, depending on phytate intake, the DGE gives reference values of 7 to 10 mg of zinc per day for women and 11 to 16 mg per day for men.
