Question 1

Is this product organic?

Accepted Answer

No it is not. And there are no true organic zincs. The products that are organic - the only thing that classifies them as organic is the organic vegetable glycerin in the product (to note, we use water instead of glycerin as our base). For a product to be certified organic by the USDA the product has to be 95% organic ingredients by volume. so the organic zinc products such as Vimergy - the only thing that makes them organic is the fact the product is 95% organic vegetable glycerin. The Zinc itself is not organic and there are no forms of Zinc that could be classified as organic. We use water as the base instead of vegetable glycerin.

We only point this out because we feel these brands are being highly deceptive. The only thing making the product organic is the vegetable glycerin.

We use water as the base instead of vegetable glycerin. It is a better medium for delivering the minerals into the body.

Question 2

The label indicates only 10 mg per 5 drop serving size. Is that correct?  If so, this is a very low dose. To get 50 mg, 25 drops?

Accepted Answer

Yes that is correct. But we only advise such large single doses in very rare cases - specifically if advised by your doctor for a Zinc deficiency. As a friendly note, the liquid zinc sulfate form has an extremely high absorption rate - so such large doses have a much higher uptake than capsules. I hope this helps. If you have any additional dosing questions feel free to reach out to us directly. We are happy to help in any way we can.

Question 3

I used this for a while, and the taste has changed over time—started out bitter, now it tastes almost chalky. Is this normal?

Accepted Answer

That actually has to do with the Zinc levels in your body. As the Zinc levels in your body increase over continued use, the taste of zinc changes. Placing minerals on your tongue and seeing what it tastes like is actually a way of testing whether your deficient or not... Im not sure how much your taking or how consistently you have been taking but you can consider changing your dose because the stored levels in your body have changed. If you reach out to us directly we can more personally answer any dosing questions you may have. I hope this helps.

Question 4

Does ionic zinc the same as zinc ionophore?

Accepted Answer

From our understand zinc ionophores are not actually Zinc but Zinc transporters within the body. The zinc ionophores are essentially like shuttle systems that move Zinc into cells where it can have antiviral effects. But ionic zinc sulfate (which this product is) is show to have optimal interaction with the Zinc ionophore in order to get the Zinc into cells.
