Foraged For You Wild Zinc 120 capsules

$118.00

Most zinc supplements are made from isolated compounds. Foraged For You Wild Zinc takes a different route, using wild Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) meat powder from Irish coastal waters with organic guava leaf extract (Psidium guajava). Two capsules provide 24.9 mg of zinc. The oyster is wild and suitable for organic production, and the capsule is gelatin. It's made without artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. It's a food-based zinc supplement, and Foraged For You says it supports normal immune system function. A bottle holds 120 capsules, about two months at two capsules daily. Our start here page covers how this fits with everything else.

We chose this zinc for its ingredient list rather than for a claim. It uses oyster meat powder and organic guava leaf extract instead of a synthetic zinc salt, and it avoids artificial additives. It suits customers who prefer food-based zinc and are comfortable with a shellfish-derived product.

FAQ
How much zinc is in each serve?

Two capsules provide 24.9 mg of zinc. The suggested serve is two capsules daily, which can be split across the day. Check the pack for the full nutrition panel before use, and speak to your health professional about how much zinc suits you.

Does it contain shellfish?

Yes. It contains wild Pacific oyster meat powder, which is a mollusc. The oyster is meat only, without shell. Do not use this product if you have a shellfish or mollusc allergy, and check the pack allergen statement before buying.

Can I open the capsules?

Yes. The page states the capsule contents can be opened and sprinkled into food. The capsule itself is gelatin, so it isn't vegetarian or vegan. Keep the dose to the label directions and speak to your health professional if unsure.

How long does one bottle last?

A bottle holds 120 capsules, which lasts about two months at the suggested serve of two capsules daily. Taking a higher dose uses it faster, but do not exceed the label directions without advice from your health professional. Splitting the dose across the day doesn't change how long the bottle lasts. Check the label for the maximum daily dose.
