A member asked:
Is zinc gluconate an effective supplement for zinc deficiency? if not, what zinc supplement is best absorbed? zinc oratate? acetate, picolinate?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Actually: I prefer Zinc Sulphate!! HOWEVER any of the above are most likely just fine since the amount needed to replenish your total body zinc is quite low!! (Higher levels are used in medical conditions eg cold virus control and Prostate function!
