Zinc Caps is a zinc supplement in vegetable capsules formulated with OptiZinc® zinc monomethionine and zinc citrate. Life Extension describes the product as a formulation that combines a bioavailable zinc raw material with zinc citrate to provide 50 mg zinc per capsule. The product is delivered in a box 90 vegetable capsules.

Target group
The product has been developed for adults who want a zinc supplement in capsule form. In the Norwegian context, the dosage must be adapted because the American manufacturer's dose is above the current Norwegian maximum limit for zinc in dietary supplements.

Use
Life Extension states 1 capsule daily. For Norway, this is not suitable as a label basis, because 1 capsule provides 50 mg zinc, while the Norwegian maximum limit is 25 mg/day. This document package therefore contains the working proposal for the Norwegian market 1 capsule every other day.
