Guest guest Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hi everyone, I have been looking for a good zinc supplement and there is always some crazy ingredient in it or the dose is not right. A lot of parents recommended different brands and I researched each ingredient. Finally based on a parent recommendation, I think GNC zinc is a clean product. It is zinc gluconate available in 30 and 50 mgs. Inactive ingredient is only cellulose which is hard to believe as it is a tablet. I will call gnc and try to get more info on it. I looked into other products and some contain magnesium stearate or vegetable stearate which can cause immune dysfunction. Liquids contain potassium sorbate which according to one study can cause mutagenic effect. Children who have leucine metabolism issue cannot take supps with leucine. Thorne zinc contains aspartic acid which has neurotoxic potential. If anyone has other better ideas, please share. Its not like my son had bad reaction to any of these but I don't want our kids to be exposed to any toxins on a regular basis as it defeats the whole purpose of detox and healing. If anyone knows anything bad about GNC products, please let me know. is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
