Zinc supplements — South Africa
Zinc citrate, picolinate and glycinate — absorbable forms in the doses that actually work. For immunity, skin, men's hormones and over 300 enzyme reactions. Free delivery over R400.
Zinc is the underrated mineral — critical for immunity, skin, men's testosterone, and over 300 enzyme reactions. The form matters: our consultants would suggest zinc citrate, picolinate or glycinate for absorption, around 15–30mg daily.
Avoid cheap zinc oxide — it's nearly inert. Avoid mega-doses (50mg+ daily long-term) — they crowd out copper.
Common questions
Which zinc form should I take?
Glycinate is gentlest on the stomach. Picolinate is highly bioavailable. Citrate is the best-value daily form. All three work. Skip oxide.
How much zinc per day?
For maintenance: 15–30mg daily. For acute immune support (when you feel something coming on): up to 50mg for 5–7 days, then back down. Don't sit at 50mg+ for months — you'll deplete copper.
Best time to take zinc?
Evening with food — zinc on an empty stomach is the classic cause of nausea. Don't take with calcium, iron, or coffee (they all interfere with absorption).
Should I add copper?
If you're taking zinc long-term, yes — a 1–2mg copper supplement keeps the ratio healthy. Most quality zinc products include it.

From the counter
The small mineral with the long CV
Zinc earns its place in winter baskets and year-round routines alike — it contributes to normal immune function, skin, and testosterone levels, which explains why three different customers buy it for three different reasons. We stock the forms worth having: picolinate and chelated zinc for absorption, lozenges for the scratchy-throat season, and balanced formulas that pair zinc with the copper it competes with.
Counter wisdom
Two cautions we repeat daily: take zinc with food (on an empty stomach it can turn on you), and don't run high doses for months on end without balancing copper — minerals work as a committee. Zinplex remains the local name families ask for; the premium picolinates suit those optimising absorption. Questions about pairing zinc with your existing routine? A consultant will untangle it on WhatsApp, free.
