Living for decades with undiagnosed cealiac disease has left me with a zinc deficiency and I haven’t had any true success with zinc supplements until THIS one. Let’s just say I’ve been waking up in the morning with a “stimulation” I haven’t known for over 15 years at least. Also, my emotions are more stable than they’ve been in years. This zinc is absorbed well and ACTUALLY used by my body.

I have taken different types of zinc over the years. Most of them caused nausea and stomach upset. This zinc formula goes down with no problem. I use it to keep my immune system strong in the winter. Haven’t gotten a flu yet! Thanks Dr. Osborne!

I had a zinc deficiency and Dr. Osborne prescribed this supplement among others for my deficiencies. I am feeling like a different person. He tested, diagnosed and found the root of my health issues. After being on these supplements for 8 weeks, I have energy and health again.

The first time I took this supplemental caused me to have an upset stomach. I realized I had taken it on an empty stomach. Since then I have taken it in the middle of a meal and not had any problems. It has seemed to work on keeping me from getting the flu or any other virus. I wanted it to provide additional protection and it has done the trick.

I am celiac and every time I tried taking Zinc my stomach would hurt for several hours. I tried different brands and it happened each time. So I came to the source for gf Suppliments not thinking it would make much difference since those other ones did not list gluten. However, I have had no problem what so ever with this zinc. I am very pleased and it makes me wonder about some of my other suppliments.

Great product, really like the included P5P in an appropriate dose, not too much which would cause some side effects
