Can this zinc be taken together with multivitamins or other mineral complexes?

This is one of the most practical questions when choosing a single-ingredient product. ALG PHARMA Tsink tabletid N30 contains 15 mg of zinc per tablet — and if you are also taking multivitamins or a mineral complex, they may well contain their own dose of zinc.

Before combining supplements, it is worth doing the following:

• Check the composition of the complexes you already take — look at the label to see how many mg of zinc the daily dose contains.
• Add up the total amount of zinc from all sources and compare it with the recommended daily intake for adults (it is set out in national or European nutrition guidelines).
• Bear in mind that zinc also comes from food — especially meat, seafood, pulses, nuts and seeds.

In addition, high doses of zinc are known to affect the absorption of copper — this is worth considering with long-term use. If you plan to take the supplement for longer than a few weeks or are combining several products, it makes sense to discuss this with a doctor or pharmacist.
