Global Healing Zinc helps you meet your daily requirement of this important nutrient, and even goes a few key steps farther. Our liquid formula contains zinc derived from guava leaves, enhanced with Ormus Supercharged Minerals for increased bioavailability, and is all-natural and gentle on your stomach. Unlike most zinc supplements, which are made with synthetic forms of the mineral, the zinc in this formula is naturally bound to plant proteins and amino acids so your body can use it efficiently. Invigorate your immune system, encourage hormone balance, and fend off premature aging with a daily dose of zinc.*\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"mw\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eUniquely Made Pure Plant Potency\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eDerived from guava leaves, our zinc supplement offers a natural, plant-based alternative to synthetic or animal-based products.

Ionic is a zinc ion with an unstable charge that likes to bind to other things like water, improving its bioavailability; chelated is zinc bound to another substance like an amino acid, another mineral or other molecule; protein matrix is zinc bound to multiple amino acids.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 fl oz (59.2ml)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplement FactsServing Size: 1 mlServing Per Container: About 60Amount Per Serving % DVZinc (from organic guava leaves)‡ 7.5 mg 68%Other Ingredients: organic vegetable glycerin, triple-distilled biophotonic structured water, organic guar gum, ormus supercharged minerals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Global Healing Nutritional Supplements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47442106810524,"sku":"GBL158","price":26.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/2407\/0044\/files\/plant-based-zinc-global-healing-01.png?v=1787334273","url":"https:\/\/primenaturalfoods.ca\/products\/plant-based-zinc-2oz","provider":"Prime Natural Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
