Sandhu’s Zinc Quercetin with EpiCor 60 Vegetarian Capsules - Gluten-Free Zinc Supplement - High Potency Immune Support

I was having some skin issues, dryness, etc. My doctor recommended I try a zinc supplement for a while to see if that made a difference. Between the lotion and these zinc supplements, it went away, so I am pretty happy with these. I don't think anyone should take them all the time, but if you need more zinc in your system, I recommend these.

This is a great supplement for allergies and immune support. The formulation is entirely high quality, studied ingredients.The formulation:**200mg Quercefit - Quercefit is the best formulation of quercetin (much higher bioavailability than standard quercetin), but the optimal dosage is closer to 500mg per serving. So the dose could be a bit higher here.**500mg Epicor - Epicor has been studied for allergies and immune support, as well as gut health. I personally haven't noticed a lot of benefits for my allergies (from quercetin or epicor, but the science is there). 500mg is a good daily dose.**22mg Zinc methionine chelate - Good dose of zinc and good form. This works synergistically with the quercetin to improve immune function.Overall - it's a great combo formulation but could be a bit better. The quercetin dose could be increased to 500mg per serving. It could also include Vitamin C and something like EGCG, to really synergize with the quercetin and zinc. But for what it is, it's a great immune supplement and very likely effective.

These supplements are suitable for vegans; are gluten, soy, and dairy free; are manufactured in the United States, and are third-party tested. After looking at the supplement facts on the bottle, I did a little research. The results I found were interesting. First off, this supplement contains zinc as a zinc mono methionine chelate complex, which should make it more easily absorbable. It also contains quercetin as quercetin dihydrate - the difference, from what I read, is that quercetin is a plant flavonoid whereas quercetin dihydrate is a synthetic chemical compound - and Japanese sophora flower bud extract. Lastly, this supplement contains EpiCor, which is a postbiotic brand and registered trademark of Cargill, Inc. According to Cargill's website, "EpiCor is a whole food fermentate clinically shown to support immune and gut health. It’s made through a specialized fermentation process that creates a unique fingerprint of metabolites including proteins, peptides, antioxidants, polyphenols, organic acids, nucleotides, polysaccharides (1-3 1-6, beta glucans) and mannans." The serving size is 2 capsules, so this bottle contains a 30-day supply. I have not had any problems swallowing the capsules, and I have not experienced any side effects from them, but I'm not thrilled that one ingredient is a synthetic chemical compound. As with any supplement, it's best to consult your health care provider before taking.

Zinc Quercetin vegan capsules are combo capsules but the quercetin amount is lower than similar supplements. The capsules are regular size. I didnt detect any odor or taste. The price point is a bit high probably because this is a small business and the products are tested and verified.

For the most part, this is a fairly basic offering of a zinc and quercetin supplement. Helpful, but nothing extra special about these. There's also some sort of a dried fermented yeast called EpiCor of which I know almost nothing about, so can't speak too much to that aspect. Of course, some would prefer that that's all that is in their immunity supplement. Personally, I prefer a few extra helpful ingredients.Maybe it's the EpiCor that's been the most helpful for me since it supposedly helps the gut. I had been suffering with a bout of the norovirus, which affects the intestinal system, that's been going around and it just kept rebounding on me every time that I thought that it went away. Since taking these, it seems to have finally gone away for good, though I'm still knocking on wood saying that yet. So far, so good.So far, they seem to be okay. Clean enough and made in Livermore, California in the USA. Mine is dated with a best used by date of 1/2026, so they are very fresh.They should go with a smaller bottle only because the full amount offered only goes up to about where the label says "Healthy Immune Support" which is pretty low on the label. Lots of wasted space that is not needed. You receive 60 capsules which means you get a one month supply at 2 capsules a day.The gelatin capsules are easy to swallow and I've not been able to detect any sort of taste. They do not cause me any sort of irritations or other issues that I've been able to detect. They've only been helpful.

I usually don't take zinc daily, moreso anytime I feel a bit under the weather or whenever I notice the first signs of having caught something. Which seems to be every other week from the months of October through March. It never fails to keep whatever it is from getting worse.I felt a scratchy/sore throat of sorts come on 2 days ago. Took a few of these spaced out throughout the day for the past couple days. Feeling good as ever now. Thanks zinc.This stuff is a bit pricier than zinc I've taken in the past, possibly due to the addition of quercetin and epicor. I was not familiar with either but did some research before getting this. While zinc was the main ingredient I sought, the antioxidant/anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting benefits of the other main ingredients make seem to make this quite the powerhouse immune support supplement!

Zinc is great for my immune system and these seem to work just fine. Since it is a supplement, I am just taking it on a daily basis and haven't seemed to even get a sniffle since I started taking it. Its a normal sized capsule and doesn't taste bad at all.
