New Chapter Zinc Supplement, Fermented Zinc Complex, ONE Daily for Immune Support + Skin Health, Mineral-Balancing Formula Rich in Copper, Easy to Swallow & Digest, 60 Count (2 Month Supply)

I’m really impressed with this New Chapter Fermented Zinc Complex—the quality shows in the certifications, thoughtfully chosen ingredients, and even the sturdy glass bottle. The tablet itself is small and easy to swallow, and I like that the zinc is in a fermented form that’s advertised as gentler and can be taken even on an empty stomach. What really makes this stand out to me is the built-in zinc + copper balance: zinc on its own can gradually deplete copper, so having both minerals together in a sensible ratio helps support immune and skin health without risking that imbalance. It’s essentially two supplements in one, so whenever these bottles go on sale I stock up—the value for money is excellent for this level of quality.

Best zinc supplement. Take after eating to avoid nausea

I have a Zinc deficiency so I have to take these tablets daily for the rest of my life. The exact name of this disorder is called Acrodermatitis Enteropathica and it's a genetic autoimmune disorder that affects very few people and requires very specific genetics to line up. I spent my whole life taking other forms of Zinc pills which only caused major nausea and stomach discomfort as Zinc is very heavy and hard on the stomach, especially taken on an empty stomach. I was searching for a Zinc supplement that was designed to work properly in increasing zinc levels, but not cause nausea as others do. Previously I had to eat a large amount of food before taking my Zinc to avoid the metal stomach nausea but with this product I don’t have to eat at all. Because I have to take such a large quantity per day due to my zinc deficiency, I can’t always be sure I have such a large amount of food through the day. This product has been a life changer and saved for me. I can’t not take zinc unless I want to get sick (as my body doesn’t absorb zinc on its own I have to supplement — that’s what the disorder is) . This product has never caused nausea and as a result I can take my full daily dose instead of dreading having to take it in fear that I haven't eaten enough food so to avoid nausea. With other Zinc products you must have a very full stomach to avoid nausea. It's a very awful disorder, nothing can be done, only option is to supplement daily on your own with Zinc - specifically; take 1mg per your weight of Zinc a day (so if you're 150 pounds, you need to take 150mgs of Zinc per day)- that's if you have this disorder. Others take it for other reasons in less quantities. There are other forms of Zinc deficiency (which can be inherited in adulthood like from severe alcoholic use, as alcohol eats up Zinc in the body). I was born with this, so long as I take Zinc daily, I'm okay and living normally. But if I miss a entire week or more of Zinc - the symptoms begin to appear. But as long as I take it again, it goes into remission. The symptoms include dermatitis, scaly patches of itchy rash on extremities (Enteropathica means extremities like legs, feet, arms, head, scalp, etc) and some other symptoms include mouth soars. It's very painful when your body is very low on Zinc. I realize this is a review of this product which I consider a huge part of my ability to maintain proper Zinc levels. But I am also sharing info on this Zinc disorder for those who may need to know more about it, as the disorder is rare. I hope this info finds someone who's been running from doctor to doctor to get help for their child who has zinc deficiency (it begins to show itself a few weeks after the child is born or weaned off mothers milk (breast milk has Zinc & symptoms won't show up on the baby until breast milk is weaned). For those taking it for other reasons, it’s highly effective. I have a zinc deficiency from birth, and if it didn't work, the symptoms that come out when my zinc levels are low would be seen. That’s why I know this is getting into my body properly, quickly, and I find myself not even taking as much as I use to with other zinc products because this is so accurate. Only thing that would be devastating for me is if New Chapter stops making it. I can’t go back to other zinc supplements! I’ve tried everything in my lifetime.

I like to take vitamin complex. However, I should have read all the contents prior to purchasing. Still not certain I'll repurchase.

I bought this for my husband. He was really pleased with the performance.

These supplements didn't hurt my stomach! I like the quality ingredients as well.

Purchased based off of other reviews. Easy to swallow and made with organic vegetables and herbs. Looks to be gluten free as well, but please check the ingredients yourself. So far so good!

This supplement only makes me mildly nauseous if I take on an empty stomach, most zinc makes me dry heave so this is a plus. Been on over 3 months and my nails look fabulous! It is a noticeable improvement. Also have not had more than mild sniffles this entire winter. To me that means it is working so I plan to keep taking it.
