Trace Minerals Ionic Zinc 50 mg Review

Buyers mostly like this liquid zinc, mainly for immune support, but the strong mineral taste and some oddities in how it looks keep coming up. It carries about 5,646 ratings across the stores, and most written reviews are positive. No gummy, capsule or powder reviews appeared in what I read, so this covers the liquid only. **What buyers say it did for them:** Immune support is the main benefit people name. One says it is "Fantastic immunity," and another says "I don't remember the last time I had a cold." Another buyer calls it a zinc supplement that "works better than any pill I've tried." One reports it helps a zinc deficiency, and one store's summary mentions a buyer who feels it is reducing hair loss, after only two weeks. Not everyone can tell: one buyer takes it for immunity and a thyroid boost and says "I honestly have zero way of checking of its efficiency." **What buyers complain about:** Taste is the main complaint, followed by stomach upset. One review is simply "It tastes GROSS." Several say to take it with food, warning that otherwise "you will feel very ill." Store summaries mention one sensitive-stomach buyer who vomited after a small dose, and one who felt hyper from the preservative potassium benzoate. Appearance worries some buyers. Reviews mention blue bits, black particles in the liquid, and ink on the dropper that "rubbed off easily." One buyer was so put off by this that they asked who would "still ingest this." Another says the liquid turns milky blue after about a month but still works the same for them. **Taste, smell, form:** Buyers describe the flavor as strong, bitter and metallic. The fixes they suggest are: - Tonic water: "you won't taste the strong minerally taste." - Tomato juice, which one buyer says works where other juices don't. - Orange juice with a juice chaser. - A spoonful of almond butter. Some advise holding a dose briefly under the tongue after a meal. It comes in a glass bottle with a plastic dropper. One buyer finds the dropper convenient but says "a very precise dosage is not possible." Blue bits need vigorous shaking to dissolve, and in water the liquid "sinks like a rock," so it needs stirring and drinking right away. **Value for money:** Few buyers comment on price, but those who do are positive. One calls it "a REALLY GOOD value for the money." Store summaries also mention a fair price and reasonable cost. **Who it suits and who it didn't:** It suits people who want a potent, absorbable zinc and are willing to mask the taste in a drink and take it with a meal. One buyer picked it over capsules because it felt "so well balanced," and likes that it contains copper. It suited people with sensitive stomachs less well. One reviewer advises people with gastrointestinal problems to use it carefully. It also suited people bothered by sediment or ink marks less well, and those who can't tolerate strong flavors.
