The score explained

evidence, testing and value, weighed before price

Why 6.8 of 10: Provisional: solid episodic evidence, dose demands respect.

what’s good
  • Good evidence for shorter colds when started within 24h
  • Well-absorbed picolinate form
  • Cheap
worth knowing
  • 50mg daily long-term risks copper depletion
  • Best used episodically, not year-round

what the evidence says

Zinc has respectable human evidence that starting supplementation within about a day of cold symptoms shortens the illness, and correcting genuine zinc deficiency supports immune function broadly. The honest caveat is chronic dosing: 50mg every day indefinitely exceeds tolerable-intake guidance and can deplete copper, so this bottle is best used as an episodic tool or split-dose.

Plain-language assessment of the human evidence. No cherry-picked citations.
