Core Level Zinc
Nutri-West
Overview
The effectiveness of Core Level Zinc is highly questionable due to the low dose of its namesake ingredient (Zinc) and the inclusion of many other ingredients at doses far below those shown to be effective, or that lack clear scientific support as supplements.
The Good
Low dosage of many ingredients may reduce acute adverse effects.
Contains essential vitamins (B12, Folic Acid, A, B1) and minerals (Zinc, Calcium, Potassium), although mostly at low levels.
The Bad
Zinc is severely underdosed (4.3 mg elemental zinc) for clinical efficacy.
Many ingredients (Calcium, Potassium, L-Arginine, L-Isoleucine, Gotu Kola, Goldenseal, Rice Bran) are present in negligible amounts, making their inclusion largely ineffective.
Glandular concentrates (Liver, Duodenum, Kidney, Trachea) have no established efficacy as supplements at these doses and raise questions about their relevance and sourcing.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals with zinc deficiency, immune support, general wellness
Skip If: You have a known copper deficiency or are taking medications that interact with zinc.
