Warnings
Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. This product provides 24.9 mg of zinc a day, close to the tolerable upper intake level of 25 mg for adults from all sources combined — do not take it together with another zinc-containing supplement, and do not take it continuously for long periods without medical advice, since sustained high zinc intake can reduce copper absorption. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children. Not recommended for children and adolescents. Keep at least 2 hours apart from tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics. Store in a cool, dry place, tightly closed, below 30 °C.

Questions before you start.
Why does the specific chemical form of Zinc matter?
Inorganic zinc forms, such as zinc sulfate or zinc oxide, have lower absorption rates and frequently cause stomach irritation, nausea, or a metallic taste. Welleo uses Zinc Citrate, an organic salt structure that dissolves easily in your digestive tract². This allows your system to process and absorb the mineral efficiently via dedicated transport channels, achieving optimal utility.
How does Zinc support your body's defenses and skin?
Under EU law, zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, to normal cognitive function, to normal DNA and protein synthesis, to normal fertility and reproduction, to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood, and to the maintenance of normal bones, hair, skin, nails and vision. Those are the claims the European Commission has authorised for zinc, and they are the only ones we make.
Are there any safety limits or contraindications?
Yes. More information means smarter decisions. Chronic over-supplementation of zinc can interfere with the body's absorption of copper, potentially leading to copper deficiency. This product provides 24.9 mg of zinc a day. The tolerable upper intake level for adults is 25 mg from all sources combined, so do not take it alongside another zinc-containing supplement, and do not take it continuously for long periods without medical advice. Furthermore, if you are taking prescription antibiotics (like tetracyclines or quinolones), take your zinc supplement at least 2 hours apart, as minerals can bind to these medications and reduce their clinical efficacy. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
