What it is

Zinc aspartate is a mineral supplement made from zinc and aspartic acid, an amino acid. It is produced by combining zinc compounds with aspartic acid through chemical synthesis.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add zinc aspartate to foods and beverages to increase their zinc content. It is commonly found in meal replacement supplements, energy drinks, and protein powders, where it serves as a source of this essential mineral.

Health notes

In the U.S., zinc aspartate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient supplement. Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a role in immune function and cell growth. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated zinc compounds, and their safety is well-established within recommended intake levels. Excessive zinc intake can interfere with copper absorption and may cause gastrointestinal upset.

Allergen info

Zinc aspartate is not derived from any of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
