High-dose zinc bisglycinate 25 mg (365 tablets)

Zinc isn’t just available as a supplement – it’s also a natural component of many foods. Which foods are high in zinc?
Our Top 5 Zinc-Rich Foods:

• Oysters
• Meat
• Nuts & Seeds
• Cheese
• Legumes

You can immediately see that many zinc-containing foods are actually vegetarian or even vegan. Good news for vegetarians and vegans? Well, not quite. The zinc content of most plant-based foods is significantly lower than that of animal products. And that’s not all: plant-based zinc is often absorbed less efficiently by the body. The reason: phytic acid. This acid is often found in plant-based sources of zinc and binds to zinc in the intestine, reducing its absorption into the body.

So, the situation doesn’t look quite as good for plant-based eaters as it might seem at first. But there are a few simple tips and tricks to improve zinc absorption:

1. Try consuming your zinc-rich foods together with vitamin C.
2. During fermentation, phytic acid is broken down! Try experimenting with fermentation – we have some delicious recipes like our Protein Porridge.
3. Whole-grain products often contain more zinc than refined flour products.

Many people also choose to take zinc supplements. This way, zinc intake can easily be increased – without complicated meal planning or tricky food combinations.

If you’ve been wondering: “What is zinc, actually?” here’s your answer: Zinc is an essential trace element. Such trace elements are required by the human body only in small amounts but cannot be produced on their own. They must therefore be obtained through diet. Don’t be fooled by the small quantities – trace elements are still incredibly important. Zinc, for example, plays a role in many processes in the body.
Zinc can therefore be obtained through diet or supplementation. Especially vegetarians and vegans often choose to supplement zinc.

There are still many myths surrounding the correct way to take zinc. So, let’s clear things up and answer the most common questions about this supplement.

Zinc | When to Take It?
The question of when to take zinc is asked very often but is actually quite easy to answer. Many people prefer taking zinc in the evening as part of their nighttime routine. However, you can take your supplement at any other time of the day. A common tip is to take zinc on an empty stomach, i.e., between meals. But if you have a sensitive stomach, taking it with a meal is perfectly fine.
Vetain’s tip: Zinc should not be taken together with calcium or iron supplements, or with foods that are very high in calcium or iron (e.g., meat and dairy products), as these substances can interfere with each other’s absorption. Zinc with a big glass of milk? No, thanks.

Why Take Zinc in the Evening?
Whether you take zinc in the morning or evening is entirely up to you. However, many people like taking it in the evening as part of their bedtime routine to help wind down and prepare for sleep. It creates a calm mood and signals to the body that it’s time for bed.

Zinc Tablets – How to Take Them?
Simply take your zinc tablet with about 300 ml of water. The tablet is quite small, round, and easy to swallow, making intake simple and convenient.

How Much Zinc per Day?
The DGE (German Nutrition Society) recommends that healthy adults consume between 7–10 mg of zinc per day for women and 11–16 mg for men, depending on the level of phytate intake (more on that later). Different reference values apply for pregnant and breastfeeding women. So, how much zinc you need per day depends on your diet. Our zinc tablet dosage is designed to suit all dietary styles: each tablet contains 25 mg of zinc.

How Many Zinc Tablets per Day?
With Vetain’s zinc supplement, you only need to take one tablet per day. Supplementing couldn’t be easier.

Many people look into zinc tablets to support their immune system or try them for their skin and hair. But what’s really behind these claims? What is zinc actually good for, and why do we need it? Let’s take a closer look!

Zinc contributes to …

• normal function of the immune system
• normal cognitive function
• normal fertility and normal reproduction

• maintenance of normal vision

… and also plays a role in cell division and helps to protect cells from oxidative stress.
So, zinc is involved in many essential processes throughout the body. That’s why many people don’t want to leave their zinc intake to chance and decide to supplement it. Vetain’s Zinc Tablets can help support your daily zinc needs.

Zinc is a popular supplement among many groups:

• People who want to support their immune system.
• Individuals who value targeted nutrient intake.
• Those looking to support their skin, hair, and nails.
• Vegetarians and vegans.
• People who are aging and consciously pay attention to their nutrition.

By the way, many people like combining zinc with other nutrients. That’s why some brands offer combination supplements such as magnesium & zinc tablets or vitamin C & zinc tablets.
We offer these nutrients individually so you have full freedom and flexibility in your supplement routine. This way, you can decide what your nutrient plan looks like today.

What makes Vetain’s Zinc Tablets special? Here’s a quick overview:

• The tablets contain zinc in the form of zinc bisglycinate chelate. This complicated-sounding term simply means a highly bioavailable form of zinc. There are different opinions on which form of zinc is best, but for our tablets, this one is ideal.
• Our tablets were developed with nutrition experts and formulated so that just one tablet per day provides 250% of the daily zinc requirement (NRV).
• Vetain’s supplements are designed to be well tolerated and clean for many people.
• The product is 100% vegan and suitable for a wide range of diets and lifestyles.
• The intake of Vetain’s zinc supplement is very simple: The small tablet can easily be swallowed with water.
• One-year supply: The Zinc Tablets 25 mg last for a full year with daily use! No constant repurchasing, no suddenly empty supplement jar.

Vetain’s zinc supplement can help support your daily zinc intake. However, please always keep in mind that these tablets are a dietary supplement. They do not replace a balanced diet, and zinc tablets can cause side effects. During development, we deliberately chose a zinc form and dosage (zinc content: 25 mg) that are well tolerated by many people.

If you’re now interested in buying zinc tablets, you should first find out which ones are best for you. Consider which factors matter most to you:

• Should the tablets be vegetarian or vegan?
• Should they be made in Germany?
• Should the tablets and packaging be sustainable?
• Should the tablets be easy to swallow?
