Essential mineral for immune function, testosterone, and wound healing
We rank Zinc by price per 10mg - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
What it is
Zinc is an essential mineral, which is a nutrient the body cannot make on its own and must get from food or supplements. It is a fundamental building block used by many different systems in the body to function correctly.
Why it's used
It is primarily taken to support the following areas of health:
Immune function: Helping the body fight off infections and illnesses.
Testosterone: Supporting the production of the primary male sex hormone.
Wound healing: Assisting the skin and tissues in repairing themselves after an injury.
How it's made
To create a supplement, zinc is sourced from mineral ores and processed into a concentrated powder. This powder is then combined with other ingredients to create a stable compound, which is finally pressed into a hard tablet or filled into a gelatin capsule for easy swallowing.
What it typically costs
Zinc is generally mid-range in price. This is because while the raw mineral is relatively common and easy to source, the cost varies depending on the specific chemical form used to make the supplement more absorbable for the body.
