Who it is for

For adults who want to supplement zinc at a moderate dose together with copper – with a tub that lasts almost a year.

What is in one daily serving?

Half a tablet provides 12 mg of zinc (125% of the nutrient reference value, NRV) and 1.0 mg of copper (100% NRV). The zinc comes from zinc mono-L-methionine sulphate, the copper from copper sulphate.

Zinc together with copper

Besides the zinc, each daily serving contains 1.0 mg of copper from copper sulphate, which corresponds exactly to the nutrient reference value (NRV). Zinc and copper are absorbed in the gut via similar pathways and are therefore often supplemented together.

One tub for almost a year

The tablets are broken along the score line; the second half is the serving for the next day. This way, 180 tablets last 360 days. After opening, the tub should be used up within 12 months.

Zinc in the diet

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

The German Nutrition Society (DGE) gives reference values for adults, depending on phytate intake, of 7 to 10 mg per day for women and 11 to 16 mg per day for men.
