PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

High Bioavailability

As an organic acid chelate, Zinc Gluconate is recognized by the body more effectively than inorganic salts. Its high solubility ensures it remains in a bioavailable state throughout the digestive tract for optimal uptake.

Superior Palatability

Specially processed to eliminate the harsh “metallic” taste. This makes it the preferred zinc source for chewable tablets, gummies, and liquid beverages where flavor stability is critical.

Excellent Formula Stability

Exhibits high stability across a wide pH range (pH 3.0 – 7.5). It does not easily react with other food ingredients like proteins or fibers, preventing precipitation or discoloration in complex formulations.

Multi-Standard Compliance

Every batch is strictly tested against USP/FCC/BP standards. Low heavy metal limits (Pb ≤ 2ppm) ensure total safety for sensitive applications such as infant nutrition.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

food02
health supplements

1. Infant & Toddler Nutrition

Used in premium milk powders and weaning foods as a safe, gentle zinc source.

2. Functional Beverages

Ideal for “Immunity Boost” drinks, energy shots, and fortified water due to its clear solubility.

3. Dietary Supplements

Primary ingredient for zinc gluconate tablets, capsules, and multivitamin premixes.

4. Fortified Cereal & Flour

Applied in large-scale food fortification programs to combat micronutrient deficiencies.



TECHNICAL FAQ
Q1: What are the sensory advantages of Zinc Gluconate over Zinc Sulfate?
A: Inorganic Zinc Sulfate often imparts a strong, bitter, metallic aftertaste and can cause astringency. Zinc Gluconate is significantly more flavor-neutral, allowing formulators to achieve high zinc levels without compromising taste.
Q2: Is Zinc Gluconate stable in acidic functional drinks?
A: Yes. Zinc Gluconate maintains excellent stability and solubility in acidic environments (down to pH 3.0), making it highly suitable for fruit-based energy drinks.
Q3: Does this product meet the heavy metal requirements for infant formula?
A: Absolutely. Our manufacturing process ensures Lead (Pb) levels stay below 2 ppm and Arsenic (As) below 3 ppm, fully complying with the strictest global standards for infant nutrition.
