(Zinc With Vitamin C) a popular supplement sold in Health Food Stores all over USA.  This is NOT a quality product and here’s why: The vitamins C is from 2 different synthetic Sources (as ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate) it is 1000 mg of Vitamin C yet only 20mg (of the 1000) is from a natural source (Acerola Berry). Zinc is from 2 different sources of ground up rocks (zinc gluconate & zinc citrate).  It’s not real food folks it’s dirt. Next we have OTHER INGREDIENTS: listed, 3 different types of sugars all bad (Fructose, Sorbitol, Glucose) then Stearic Acid, finally we have a natural sugar (honey). Silica, Cellulose, Magnesium Stearate, Lemon Flavor (not real lemon) & Citric Acid. People are buying this for themselves and their children thinking they’re getting something real good, what a disappointment.  The last line is what they do not have in the product (NO yeast, wheat, soy, gluten, milk, salt, sugar, starch, preservatives or artificial color) that’s good but the major reason people are buying this product is for Vitamin C and Zinc, and it is synthetic and ground up rocks.  You can get the same and probably even a cheaper product in any drugstore.

Check your label and supplements.
