Can I take it on an empty stomach?

We would not recommend it. Zinc sits much more comfortably when taken with a meal.

Is it suitable for vegetarians?

Yes. The capsule is cellulose-based and the whole formula is vegetarian and vegan-friendly.

Zinc Picolinate 50 mg — NOW Foods | GIG Health & Nutrition

Overview

Zinc is involved in hundreds of everyday processes in the body, and it is one of the minerals most commonly under-supplied by a modern diet. This formula uses zinc picolinate — zinc bound to picolinic acid — a form chosen for how readily the body takes it up.

Each veg capsule delivers 50 mg of elemental zinc from 271 mg of zinc picolinate. Customers reach for it most often for immune support, skin health, and its role in fertility and normal wound healing.

Vegetarian and vegan-friendly, non-GMO, and produced in a GMP-certified facility. A 120-capsule bottle is a generous supply.

Suggested use

Take 1 veg capsule daily with food, or as printed on the product label. Zinc is best taken with a meal to keep it comfortable on the stomach. If you are taking zinc daily over a long period, mention it to your pharmacist or doctor.

Always read the label. The guidance above is general. The serving printed on your bottle is the one to follow, and it takes priority over anything on this page.
