“Zinc 15 mg per serving”
Evidence →The label promises 15 mg per serving. The panel says 15 mg. They match.
◐Partly confirmed1
“L-methionine For Gentle Absorption: Supports optimal bioavailability with a highly absorbable chelated form of zinc known for being easy on the…”
Evidence →Ingredient evidence exists; on dose: label states 15 mg/serving — about 38% of the adult daily reference (adult RDA 8–11 mg; NIH sets 40 mg/day as the tolerable upper limit for adults). A single serving isn’t meant to supply a full day, so this is context, not a shortfall. Caveat: chelate and gluconate labels may state compound mass rather than elemental zinc.
Ingredient research can support context, but it is not a trial of this exact product.

Research behind the findings
Dose and research context
We could not match an amount on this product to a studied range for the same ingredient, so these links are ingredient background rather than a measurement of this product.
Background reading
What the research says about these amounts
Not a score. Studies disagree with each other and change over time, so this sits beside the evidence rather than counting toward it — it is here so you can read the sources yourself.
The panel lists 15 mg of zinc per serving. Studies we found used 8 mg–40 mg a day, so this sits inside that range.
0studied 8 mg–40 mg
Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
