Transparency Index

6.7/10

Acceptable It works, but zinc gluconate is the least effective of the common zinc forms. Those wanting to supplement 10 mg zinc daily are better served by zinc bisglycinate — better absorption, often cheaper too.

Rating breakdown

Evidence for ingredient 8.0/10

Zinc has strong evidence for immune function, wound healing, testosterone regulation, and antioxidant protection. 10 mg daily is a solid preventive dose.

Value for money 7.0/10

€0.30 per day for 10 mg zinc is acceptable. Better forms (bisglycinate) are available for similar prices, but pharmacy quality has its value.

Product quality 5.0/10

Zinc gluconate has significantly lower bioavailability than zinc bisglycinate or picolinate. More gluconate is needed for the same effect. Functional, but not the best choice.

Label honesty 8.0/10

Zinc form and amount clearly declared. No misleading claims. Dosage correctly stated as elemental zinc.

Third-party testing 6.0/10

Pharmacy product with standard quality control, but no publicly available independent third-party testing.

Product Description

Synomed Zink Tabletten delivers 10 mg elemental zinc daily as zinc gluconate (2 tablets of 5 mg each). Zinc is an essential trace element for the immune system, hormone balance, and cellular protection.

What We Like

  • 10 mg zinc daily — adequate preventive dose
  • Pharmacy-grade quality and control
  • Affordable compared to premium brands
  • Simple dosing with 2 small tablets

What We’re Missing

  • Zinc gluconate has significantly lower bioavailability than bisglycinate or picolinate
  • For equivalent absorption, chelated zinc would be more effective
  • No information on cofactors (copper balance important for long-term use)
  • No guidance on optimal timing (taking on an empty stomach maximizes absorption)

Usage Recommendation

2 tablets daily, preferably on an empty stomach or between meals for better absorption. Take with a meal if stomach upset occurs. Long-term use above 25 mg daily should be balanced with copper supplementation.

Ingredient dossier

Zinc is involved in hundreds of enzymes and is essential for immune function, DNA repair, and hormone synthesis. Low intake is not uncommon in older adults and vegans.
