Good form of zinc

I have to watch my intake of copper so it's nice to find a zinc supplement that doesn't contain copper. I wish it was in a slightly lower dosage, though.

My mom died of a heart attack at age 65 so I began doing research on what I could do to protect my health. After reading the research on the benefits of A-L-C, I started taking 1,000 mg a day over 15 years ago. More than anything, I find it helps keeps my mind sharp. After trying many brands of A-L-C, there are only two brands I trust for potency and purity: Nutricology and Thorne Research. Do yourself a favor and research A-L-C. It seems expensive but the benefits are worth it to me.

Great bioavailable magnesium

Seems to be very bioavailable and you can scale the dosage to your particular needs. Just don't take magnesium (or grapefruit juice, for that matter) around the time you take prescription drugs because it can block absorption.

Source Naturals, Zinc, 50 mg, 250 Tablets

The best zinc supplement

Chelated zinc is the most bioavailable form of zinc. Most zinc supplements are treated by the body as waste since they aren't bound to something organic (food). This chelated zinc is bound with amino acids which the body processes as food. I'll use this product for life!

After reading some of the reviews here, I decided to try this brand of cinnamon. I've tried other brands in the past and saw no difference so I was a bit skeptical. I've always had a problem with my body storing excess fat so I had to watch carbs so closely. After age 50, that didn't even seem to help much as my weight crept up. I read Gary Taubes' last two books and understand that when your blood sugar rises, your body produces insulin which directs excess blood glucose into your fat cells. It's not simply calories in/calories out. Anyway, I started these as directed and I know my blood sugar is not spiking. My weight is slowly coming back down. I haven't been this bullish on a supplement in a long time. I'll take this stuff for life if it keeps working this way.

Good for libido

My testosterone levels test on the low side but not low enough for hormone replacement. These do the trick for improving libido and I've noticed my night vision is much better and colors are more vivid. I take three a day in the a.m.

I'm sure it works for some people...

I'm sure it works for its intended purposes, but it also interferes with your thyroid. This is possibly the worst tasting thing I've ever used. I took it once but threw the rest of it away. I love Thorne Research products, but this one isn't right for me.

I love this brand. I've tried taking less than the full amount and still end up being wide awake at night. I'm not sure if it's the Vitamin D3 or the B's are just very potent.

Maybe it's because I'm an ex-Texan but love the Bluebonnet brand. I like that this isn't laced with niacin like the Chromate versions.

I don't take the full serving because men only need 500 mg of calcium a day. Everything you need for bone health is here and I like that it's a capsule rather than a tablet. I notice I'm more regular and sleep better when I take this.

I trust Bluebonnet's quality and purity. This product is helping get rid of some spider veins around my ankles so I assume it's working to improve my circulation as well.
