Pure Encapsulations Zinc 30 mg | Zinc Picolinate Supplement for Immune System Support, Growth and Development, and Wound Healing* | 60 Capsules

I like this pills, it really works for me . I dont taking them permanently but when I need them I go for this brand.

I gave these a try knowing that other reviews said that doctors like the brand as well. These pills do not give me nausea. They also have controlled my acne. I have been taking these with vitamin A 5000iu to help. Zinc is amazing. Update! 10/8/2020 My hormonal acne is cured!

Wife trusts Pure Encapsulations supplements almost exclusively on reco of her doctor. This Zinc was recommended to her and she is enjoying taking it compared to other brands. Easy to swallow and easy to digest. No side effects noticed. Will repurchase.

Easy to swallow

I use as a supplement for health

Our allergy season has fallen on us. I am a senor and each year it is harder to block the drainage and sniffles. I start early with the zinc to reduce the affects of allergy or cold. Be Safe.

Ive tried alot of different varieties of zinc supplements and this brand truly nails it. (literally) My nails are firmer, my acne is reduced, I have caught a cold in over two years and Im a chronically sick individual. Its been amazing.

I’ve been taking 25mg of zinc gluconate for the past year or so with no side effects. But after reading that zinc picolinate is absorbed better by the body, I thought I’d try it in this 30mg form. I took one capsule with a meal, as suggested, but approximately 4-6 hours later I started to feel a “numb/inflamed irritation” in my throat and ears, which I associate with an oncoming cold. An hour or so after this, I began to feel a “straining” pain in my shoulders and upper arms. Needless to say, this was quite unpleasant. I decided not to take the zinc for a week to check if the irritation and pain were related to the supplement. The next day the symptoms were gone, so I was not in fact coming down with a cold. A week later, I took another capsule, again with a meal, and went about my business. As you can probably guess, since I’m writing this review, 4-6 hours later the irritation and pain returned. The unpleasantness lasted for hours until I went to bed. I did a little research (reading all critical reviews here, and googling) looking for others who may have experienced similar side effects, but I did not find anything helpful. Did I get a bad batch? Am I allergic to picolinate in particular, or something else in the capsule? But Pure Encapsulations make it clear on the bottle that the capsules are “Gluten-free, Non-GMO & Hypoallergenic,” so who knows. For now I’m going back to zinc gluconate; perhaps in future I will again try zinc picolinate, but in a smaller dose.

Zinc supplements can be found at less expensive prices, but I prefer to choose a well-regarded brand. Some mineral supplement products from unknown brands may cause or aggravate conditions such as acid reflux. This zinc product is in capsule form, which I prefer for the ease of swallowing. I have not experienced any side effects from this product.

I have been using Pure products for years and have always found them to be fresh and fully potent. My doctor has recommended them as the best on the market.
