That&#039;s all a good supplement needs. The ingredient list will typically include, at most, an anti-caking agent like acacia fiber and the capsule shell, usually cellulose. The shorter the list, the less you have to look up.<\/p>\n<h3>What zinc is officially recognized for<\/h3>\n<p>The EU has authorized health claims for zinc (Regulation (EU) No. 432\/2012). These claims may be used if a product provides at least 15 mg of the reference intake per daily serving, which for zinc is 1.5 mg or more. The authorized wording is as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system.<\/li>\n<li>Zinc helps protect cells from oxidative stress.<\/li>\n<li>Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails.<\/li>\n<li>Zinc contributes to normal DNA synthesis and normal protein synthesis.<\/li>\n<li>Zinc contributes to normal cognitive function.<\/li>\n<li>Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction.<\/li>\n<li>Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood.<\/li>\n<li>Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and normal vision.<\/li>\n<li>Zinc plays a role in cell division.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What is not covered:<\/strong> \u201e&quot;Increases testosterone levels.&quot; Only the following is approved: <em>conservation<\/em> a normal mirror. Anything beyond that is baseless advertising.<\/p>\n<h3>How it is taken<\/h3>\n<p>The usual dosage is one capsule daily with a meal. Some people don&#039;t tolerate zinc well on an empty stomach. Zinc and iron use the same absorption pathways and can interfere with each other: a few hours&#039; interval is sufficient. The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) recommends a maximum of 6.5 mg of zinc per day from dietary supplements; the upper limit for total daily intake from all sources is 25 mg. Keep an eye on any additional intake from multivitamins or supplements.<\/p>\n<div class=\"eh-portraet\" style=\"background:#eef5e6;border-left:4px solid #55883b;border-radius:10px;padding:20px 24px;margin:22px 0\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 6px;font-family:&apos;Instrument Serif&apos;,serif;font-size:22px;color:#22301f\">Knowledge, figures, research<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 14px;line-height:1.6\">Why the compound determines absorption, which combinations of minerals help and which inhibit it.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/edenshealth.de\/en\/naehrstoffe\/#bioverfuegbarkeit\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#55883b;color:#fff;font-weight:600;text-decoration:none;padding:10px 18px;border-radius:999px\">To the nutrient atlas \u2192<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"eh-warn\">\n<h3>Good to know<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Zinc can upset the stomach when taken on an empty stomach.
