Analysis
NaturesPlus Immune Zinc Lozenge (listed as liquid in schema) is primarily designed as a robust zinc supplement, delivering a total of 16.5 mg of zinc from three different forms: bisglycinate, citrate, and gluconate. This multi-form approach aims to maximize zinc absorption and utilization for general health support.
It includes a modest 0.3 mg of copper bisglycinate, which is a highly absorbable form, important for maintaining mineral balance when taking higher doses of zinc. While the copper content is minimal and serves more of a balancing role, the product offers an economical option for concentrated zinc intake with a thoughtful touch of copper.
Pros
- Uses a highly absorbable form of copper (bisglycinate), even at a low dose.
- Very economical price per serving.
- Combines three different zinc forms for comprehensive zinc support.
- Palatable berry flavor (implied by "Berry Flavored Lozenge" in the name, even if form is Liquid).
Cons
- Copper dosage (0.3 mg) is extremely low, not suitable for primary copper supplementation.
- The product name mentions "Lozenge" but the schema lists "Liquid(s)" for form, which is confusing.
- Primarily focused on zinc, so it may not fully address specific copper-related goals.
- Contains calories and carbohydrates, which might be a consideration for some.
Warnings
- Extended high-dose zinc supplementation without adequate copper can lead to copper deficiency.
- This product's copper content is for balance; for significant copper supplementation, a dedicated product is needed.

Goals
Impact
Moderate effect
While zinc contributes to bone health, the copper content (0.3 mg) is too low to provide meaningful, targeted support for bone health goals. It primarily offers general mineral balance rather than a direct impact.
Impact
Moderate effect
Both zinc and copper support skin, but the very low copper dose in this product means its direct contribution to specific copper-related skin goals (like collagen/elastin production) is minimal. It's mainly a zinc benefit.
Impact
Moderate effect
The extremely low copper dosage (0.3 mg) provides very limited specific support for hair pigmentation or structure, even though copper is in a good form. The primary benefit for hair would likely come from the zinc.
Impact
Moderate effect
Zinc is more prominent for vision support in this product, and the copper dose is too small to make a significant impact on specific vision goals. It offers only very basic, broad mineral support for eye health.

While it contains copper in a high-quality bisglycinate chelate form, the dosage (0.3 mg) is exceptionally low, clearly positioning it as a trace balancing agent rather than a primary copper supplement.
