Some estimate that up to 33 percent of the world s population have diets that are deficient in zinc. Vegans can be more susceptible to deficiency because many of the highest sources of zinc are found in animal products such as oysters, shellfish, beef, etc. The dilemma for vegans is that the zinc found in vegetables, legumes and grains can be bound by naturally occurring phytic acid (phytates) which inhibit its absorption. Because of this, it is said that vegetarians require 50 percent more zinc than non-vegetarians. Taking zinc and magnesium supplements together can decrease the effects of each one separately. Our unique plant-based zinc comes from certified organic farms. They are freeze-dried and organically processed. This is superior to other technologies with respect to retaining all the ingredients and co-nutrients of the plants.
