Wild Zinc is a pure, food-based zinc and is therefore suitable for all ages and life stages. However, the amount depends on age.

*Please also note that Wild Zinc contains oyster meat powder (mollusc), which are considered a top food allergen. We suggest ensuring your child has already been exposed to oysters/molluscs prior to introducing Wild Zinc.

Below are the recommended intakes for adolescents that you can use to find a suitable serving for your child. These nutrient reference values can be found on https://www.eatforhealth.gov.au/

Please note, these are suitable servings per age, not personalised prescriptions. Each person may vary based on their health circumstances, weight and nutritional needs. It is always best to check with your trusted health professional.

Also please bear in mind that a Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) means the bare minimum to consume via diet in order to function. The Upper Limit (UL) however, is the maximum amount recommended to consume before toxicity occurs, particularly from supplementation. So exceeding the RDI is suitable and in many cases recommended, but always being mindful to not consistently exceed the Upper Limit with supplementation.
