Our plant-based zinc is extracted from guava leaves and is currently the only 100% natural zinc ingredient from a plant source in the world. The guava leaves (Psidium guajava) are cultivated in India. Thanks to an innovative, gentle form of water extraction, the zinc can be dissolved from the guava leaves only using pure water without the use of any solvents, binding agents or carrier substances. In contrast to the usual solvent-based methods, this form of water extraction produces a truly natural plant extract in natural purity.

Zinc is organically incorporated in a natural compound in guava leaves and has excellent bioavailability (although the bioavailability of zinc in animal foods is normally higher) due to the phytic acid contained in mineral-rich plants, which has an inhibiting effect on the absorption of minerals. This is broken down and removed during the gentle water extraction of the guava leaf, resulting in a 100% plant-based zinc with very high bioavailability.

For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass.

The evergreen guava tree (Psidium guajava) belongs to the myrtle family and is native to South America. In addition to 10% tannins, fresh guava leaves contain numerous antioxidant polyphenols such as β-sitosterol, maslinic acid and guaijavolic acid; they are also rich in B vitamins (B2, B3, B5, B6) and zinc.
