What form of zinc does this product contain, and why does it matter?

In ALG PHARMA Tsink tabletid N30, zinc is present in the form of zinc gluconate — a salt of gluconic acid. This is one of the most common forms of zinc in food supplements, and it is chosen partly because it is well tolerated with regular use.

For comparison: zinc comes in different forms — oxide, sulfate, picolinate, gluconate and others. They differ in how well they are absorbed and tolerated. Zinc gluconate is considered a gentle option, which makes it suitable for people with a sensitive stomach or those planning to take the supplement as a course.

Each tablet contains 15 mg — this is a single-ingredient product with no other active components (apart from zinc gluconate, it contains only cellulose and an anti-caking agent), which is convenient if you want to keep precise track of how much zinc you get from the supplement. This is especially relevant if you already take multivitamins: check in advance whether they contain zinc so as not to exceed the daily intake.
