NOW Foods Zinc 50 mg 100 Tablets

The label's 50 mg amount refers to zinc itself, supplied by zinc gluconate. It is not the total weight of the gluconate compound. This form differs from the glycinate softgels and picolinate capsules in the NOW range.

One tablet constitutes a serving, with 100 tablets in the bottle. NOW recommends one daily with a meal. Its warning restricts use during pregnancy or nursing and explicitly states that the product is not intended for long-term use. The elemental amount, ingredient form and duration restriction should be considered together.
