Description

Zinc gluconate (CAS 4468-02-4 ) is an organic zinc salt used across food, pharmaceutical, and personal care manufacturing as a bioavailable zinc source for supplementation and fortification. It delivers zinc in a form that is well-tolerated in oral and topical applications. This ingredient is a preferred choice over inorganic zinc salts in finished product formulations due to its high absorption rate. In dietary supplements and OTC pharmaceuticals, it is the active ingredient in lozenges, tablets, and syrups targeting immune support. Food and beverage manufacturers use it to fortify products such as infant formula, functional drinks, and cereals where label-friendly zinc fortification is required. It provides a reliable method for meeting nutritional requirements in diverse consumer goods. In personal care, it is incorporated into anti-acne creams, oral care products, and deodorants for its ability to regulate sebum and control odor-causing bacteria. Pharmaceutical compounders also use it as a zinc source in parenteral nutrition formulations. The product is supplied as a white to off-white crystalline powder that is easily integrated into various production processes. Standard grades include USP , BP , Ph. Eur. , and food-grade ( FCC ) to meet global regulatory requirements. Purity levels are typically maintained at 97–102% on a dry basis to ensure consistent performance in sensitive applications. Bulk quantities are available in fiber drums or multi-layer bags suited to GMP-compliant manufacturing environments. Contact us for supply of Zinc gluconate Request Quote
