Small trace element, big effect: 25 mg zinc per capsule, which corresponds to 250% of the recommended daily amount. Inlead Zinc Bisglycinate provides zinc in a highly bioavailable form as zinc bisglycinate, a chelated compound bound to the amino acid glycine. The tub contains 120 vegan capsules and, at 1 capsule daily, lasts around 4 months. A meta-analysis on blood zinc levels is available; you will find the results in the section "Your everyday advantage".

Your everyday advantage
-
Zinc levels: In a meta-analysis of adults, serum zinc rose on average by around 6% when zinc intake doubled; zinc can slightly raise blood zinc levels, depending on the dose.
-
25 mg zinc per capsule: 1 capsule provides 25 mg zinc (250% NRV) as zinc bisglycinate, bound to the amino acid glycine; 1 capsule is the daily serving.
-
Around 4 months' supply: 120 vegan capsules at 1 capsule daily; HPMC capsule shell, gluten-free and lactose-free.
-
Short ingredient list: maize starch, zinc bisglycinate, HPMC capsule shell and anti-caking agent; at 250% NRV, the minimum amount for the authorised zinc claims below is met.
What the research says: The results of the meta-analysis were very inconsistent (heterogeneity I² = 84.5%) and the data only go up to 2010; the rise was small on average. For performance or recovery, a review of 9 zinc experiments in athletes found no evidence. Meta-analyses show averages, not an individual result.
