Common questions

Is Jarrow Formulas Vegan Zinc Balance healthy?

Jarrow Formulas Vegan Zinc Balance scores 46/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Jarrow Formulas Vegan Zinc Balance?

Jarrow Formulas Vegan Zinc Balance lists 6 ingredients, starting with Zinc l-Methionine Sulfate, Copper Gluconate, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose and Water. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Jarrow Formulas Vegan Zinc Balance contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Jarrow Formulas Vegan Zinc Balance’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Jarrow Formulas Vegan Zinc Balance?

Jarrow Formulas Vegan Zinc Balance has no NOVA group.
