Question 1

What is the list of ingredients on the label?

Accepted Answer

Zinc (as zinc orotate) 60 mg (9.5 mg elemental zinc)Other ingredients: Magnesium carbonate (used as a binder in manufacturing tablets); Avicel (trade name for microcrystalline cellulose - also used in the formation of tablets to enhance properties to facilitate manufacturing); Prosolv (trade name for silicified microcrystalline cellulose - again, used in the manufacturing of tablets); Pure Food Glaze (the general name for a resinous substance excreted by the females of the lac insect, Laccifer Tachardia lacca formerly Coccus lacca.  The crude resin, also called sticklac, is processed to produce a shellac lac, which, in tablet manufacturing, is used to coat tablets to protect them, to delay dissolution, to mask taste, etc);Ac-Di-Sol (trade name for Croscarmellose Sodium which is used to enhance the dissolution of a tablet once its enteric or other coating is dissolved; Compritol (trade name for glyceryl behenate which is used to help in the compression of powders to form tablets); Plasdone (trade name for polyvinylpyrrolidone which is used as a tablet binder and to enhance bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs/compounds);, Magnesium stearate (a "lubricant" used to facilitate the manufacturing of tablets and subject to a host of bad press from guru's who sell their own supplements which are grossly overpriced. Here is one article that discusses the claims:http://www.wellnessresources.com/health/articles/the_facts_on_magnesium_stearate/ Google for a slew of pro and con articles).Succinctly stated, all of the "other ingredients" are used in the manufacture of tablets - which are powders that have been compressed to form tablets.Under "other ingredients," above, I added the parenthetical additions, i.e., they are not found on the label.Ed

Question 2

these tablets weigh 200 mg each. if there is 60 mg of zinc, then how much of the remaining 140 mg is magnesium stearate?

Accepted Answer

Everyone, read the question again. These tablets don't WEIGH 200mg each.  There are 200 tablets in the bottle!  They contain 60mg of zinc orotate, plus other things added in manufacturing process. Jeez.

Question 3

why does it say 60mg on front and 9.5 on back in the supplement info section

Accepted Answer

As far as I understand, it is saying there is 60 mg of zinc Orotate, meaning the complete chemical, but of that 60 mg, 9.5 is actual elemental zinc.

Question 4

Is it non-gmo?

Accepted Answer

I have no clue as the bottle doesn't say so.
