FAQ
- What is the suggested use of the product?
Adults, as a dietary supplement, take one (1) capsule daily with a meal.
- Why does Zinc Plus Selenium contain only one form of zinc?
Based on the latest research, we selected zinc glycinate chelate for two important reasons: It's a high-potency, bioavailable source of zinc that's been used in many clinical studies, and it works synergistically with the high-selenium yeast included in the formula.
- I've heard too much zinc can deplete your body's copper levels. Is that true with Zinc Plus Selenium?
You would have to take large quantities of zinc (above 50 mg/day) over a period of weeks for it to interfere with your copper levels. As a safeguard, we've added a very small amount of copper to the formula simply because we don't know how much zinc you may be getting from your diet.
- Since the selenium used is yeast-based, does Zinc Plus Selenium contain active yeast?
No, the product does not contain any active yeast because it goes through a fermentation process.
- Is it safe to consume this product while pregnant or nursing?
This product was not formulated specifically for pregnant or nursing women. We always recommend consulting with your health care provider before taking a new dietary supplement.
- What is the purpose of the Stoplight-colored labeling?
The Stoplight System is a product-labeling program is designed to help you make informed decisions when considering your gut health.
