Jarrow Formulas Zinc Balance®
Zinc might be a trace mineral—your body only needs a teeny, tiny amount of it on a daily basis. But that doesn’t mean it’s not essential for a whole bunch of body functions. In fact, zinc is arguably one of the most important minerals to get every single day.
But not all zinc supplements are created equal—so it can be tough for your body to actually absorb and use the nutrient when you add it in supplement form. To make sure it’s bioavailable and easy for your system to use, look for a supplement like Jarrow Formulas Zinc Balance that’s formulated with absorbability in mind. This recipe includes zinc in the form of Zinc L-Methionine, plus added copper—both of which help make it more digestible.
Here are some of the reasons to add immune support to your diet with Jarrow Formulas Zinc Balance:
When you get injured: Your body’s pretty impressive when it comes to handling cuts, abrasions, and other minor injuries. The natural healing process helps you bounce back—and zinc plays a role in the body’s normal tissue health and recovery processes.*
To support a strong immune system: Want to show your immune system some love? Then zinc deserves a spot in your routine. It provides immune system support and antioxidant support to help protect against free radicals as part of normal cellular function.*
For a mood boost and cognitive support: Looking to support cognitive function and a balanced mood?* Make sure you’re getting enough zinc each day. It helps maintain healthy cognitive function as you age.* It also helps support a balanced mood and promotes relaxation during everyday stress.*
To give you energy and promote a healthy metabolism: Did you know that zinc plays a key role in metabolic function? Yep, it’s true. Zinc is essential for energy production and it also plays a role in healthy thyroid function.* All this means it supports healthy metabolic function and healthy weight management when combined with diet and exercise.*
It's key for growth and development: Whether you’ve got a young kiddo at home or you’re hoping to get pregnant soon, zinc is an essential nutrient growing bodies need. It helps us develop a sense of smell and taste and is crucial for activating over 300 enzymes in the body!*

FAQs About Jarrow Formulas Zinc Balance® Capsules
Q: Does this zinc upset your stomach? A: It can. If zinc bothers your stomach, I'd take 1 capsule with food. I'd also avoid taking it with nuts, seeds, legumes, or grains, since phytic acid can reduce absorption.
Q: Why does this one have copper in it too? A: Because zinc and copper need to stay balanced. This one has 15 mg of zinc with 1 mg of copper, which makes sense if you take zinc regularly and don't want to take zinc by itself long term.
Q: Should I take it every day or every other day? A: Either is fine. The directions say 1 capsule per day or every other day. If you're sensitive to supplements or already get zinc from a multivitamin, every other day is a good place to start.
Q: I've heard zinc is hard to absorb. Is this form better? A: Yeah. This one uses zinc L-methionine sulfate, and a lot of people choose that form because it's known for better absorption. Jarrow paired it with L-methionine on purpose, so it isn't just plain zinc in a capsule.
Q: My doctor said not to take too much zinc long term. Is 15 mg a lot? A: Not really. 15 mg per capsule is a moderate amount. But it also gives you 136% of the daily value, so I wouldn't stack it with a bunch of other zinc products unless your doctor tells you to.
Q: Does this interact with any medications? A: It can. Zinc can interfere with some antibiotics and thyroid medication if you take them too close together. I'd space it out and check with your pharmacist if you're on prescriptions.
Q: Can I take this if I'm pregnant or nursing? A: I'd check first. Talk to your OB or midwife before you start this one if you're pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive.
