What is Seeking Health Zinc Lozenges and who is it for?
Seeking Health Zinc Lozenges provide a bioavailable zinc supplement in an easy-to-use chewable form, delivering 15mg of elemental zinc per lozenge. These lozenges are formulated for individuals seeking targeted nutritional support for immune function, skin health, and normal digestive tract integrity. The lozenge format allows for direct oral absorption and makes supplementation convenient and palatable, particularly for those who prefer not to swallow capsules.
This product is ideal for anyone with increased zinc requirements, those following restrictive diets, or individuals seeking a gentle zinc form that does not cause gastrointestinal upset. The xylitol base and pleasant taste make it suitable for regular use without the digestive compromise common to other zinc supplements.
Fairfield Nutrition Thoughts
Zinc is genuinely foundational to human physiology – it’s not hype. Over 3,000 proteins in your body require zinc to function properly, and many of your most important antioxidant enzymes (like superoxide dismutase) cannot work without it. In Functional Medicine, we think of zinc as a structural mineral that allows your body’s defence systems to actually do their job.
What makes this specific product compelling is the combination of bioavailability and tolerability. Albion® zinc bisglycinate chelate is recognized by the body similarly to how it would encounter zinc in food, and the lozenge format allows for buccal absorption, meaning some zinc is absorbed directly in the mouth and throat, bypassing the stomach entirely. This matters for people with sensitive digestive systems or those already managing gut inflammation.
Why choose Albion® zinc bisglycinate in lozenge form?
Standard zinc supplements—particularly zinc oxide and zinc citrate—are poorly absorbed and frequently cause nausea, metallic taste, or digestive upset. This creates a frustrating situation where the nutrient you need most becomes something your body rejects. Albion® zinc bisglycinate is fundamentally different: the zinc is bonded to the amino acid glycine, a form your digestive system recognizes as similar to protein-bound zinc from food. This reduces irritation and improves absorption efficiency.
The lozenge delivery system adds another layer of practical advantage. Rather than relying solely on stomach acid and intestinal absorption, the lozenge dissolves in your mouth and throat, allowing direct absorption through the oral mucosa. This is particularly valuable for individuals with compromised digestive function, those taking medications that affect zinc absorption, or anyone seeking rapid bioavailability. The xylitol base also means you’re not consuming artificial sweeteners or unnecessary additives—just the zinc and a naturally derived sweetener.
How does it work?
Think of zinc as a structural scaffold inside your cells. Hundreds of your body’s most critical enzymes—the proteins that catalyze essential reactions—have specific binding sites where zinc must sit in order to function. Without zinc in these positions, the enzyme simply cannot do its job, no matter how much substrate is available. This is why zinc deficiency doesn’t just cause one symptom; it cascades across multiple systems simultaneously.
Immune Function: Zinc is essential for the development and activation of T-lymphocytes, the white blood cells that coordinate your adaptive immune response. It also supports the production of thymulin, a hormone critical for immune cell maturation. When zinc is insufficient, your body struggles to mount an appropriate immune response, leaving you vulnerable to pathogens.
Antioxidant Enzyme Activity: Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and metallothionein—two of your body’s most powerful antioxidant enzymes—require zinc as a structural component. These enzymes neutralize harmful free radicals and heavy metals respectively. Without adequate zinc, your cells accumulate oxidative damage and toxic metal burden accelerates.
Tissue Integrity and Wound Healing: Zinc is required for collagen synthesis and normal epithelial cell turnover. This is why zinc deficiency shows up as poor wound healing, hair loss, and compromised skin and mucosal barriers. The digestive tract lining, your intestinal epithelium, depends on adequate zinc to maintain its tight junctions and regenerate normally. When zinc is low, barrier function deteriorates.
What can this support?
This formula provides nutritional support for:
Immune Resilience: Individuals seeking to maintain normal immune function, particularly during seasons of high pathogenic exposure or during periods of elevated stress when immune reserves are depleted.
Skin and Hair Health: Those experiencing slow wound healing, brittle nails, or compromised skin barrier function, as zinc is essential for epithelial cell turnover and collagen integrity.
Digestive Tract Integrity: Individuals with sensitive digestive systems or those working to maintain normal intestinal barrier function, as zinc supports mucosal cell regeneration and tight junction integrity.
Normal Sensory Function: Those experiencing changes in taste or smell, as zinc is required for the development and maintenance of taste buds and olfactory receptors.
Metabolic Support: Individuals seeking nutritional support for normal blood sugar regulation and healthy metabolism, as zinc is required for insulin signaling and multiple metabolic enzymes.
Antioxidant Defense: Anyone working to support their body’s natural antioxidant enzyme systems, particularly during periods of oxidative stress or environmental exposure.
Common questions
How is this different from other zinc supplements I’ve seen?
Most zinc supplements use forms like zinc oxide or zinc citrate, which are poorly absorbed and commonly cause nausea or stomach upset. Albion® zinc bisglycinate is chelated—bonded to glycine—which makes it bioavailable and gentle. The lozenge format also allows absorption through your oral mucosa, not just your intestines, which is particularly valuable if your digestive system is compromised.
Can I take this if I have a sensitive stomach?
Yes. The bisglycinate form is specifically chosen for tolerability, and the lozenge format allows absorption to begin in your mouth rather than relying entirely on stomach acid. Many people with digestive sensitivity find this form completely well-tolerated.
How much zinc do I actually need?
The Recommended Dietary Allowance is 11mg daily for adult men and 8mg for adult women. However, individual needs vary based on diet, absorption capacity, stress levels, and health status. A Functional Medicine practitioner can assess your zinc status and recommend an appropriate dose.
What does the xylitol base mean for my teeth?
Xylitol is a naturally derived sugar alcohol that does not promote tooth decay. Unlike sucrose, xylitol actually has a neutral or slightly beneficial effect on dental health, making it an appropriate choice for a chewable supplement.
Can I take this long-term?
Zinc can be taken consistently when dosed appropriately. However, excessive zinc supplementation can interfere with copper absorption, so it’s important to work with a practitioner who can assess your individual needs and monitor your intake over time.
Is this suitable for children?
Seeking Health formulates this product with safety in mind, but pediatric dosing differs from adult dosing. Consult with a Functional Medicine practitioner before giving this to children.

Seeking Health Australia
Practitioner-grade supplements designed for clarity, tolerance, and individual needs Seeking Health is a practitioner-focused supplement brand developed to support individual nutritional needs with a strong emphasis on formulation clarity and tolerance. Founded by Dr Ben Lynch, Seeking Health is best known for its work in areas such as methylation, histamine balance, gut health, and immune support. The brand offers a broad range of supplements — from everyday nutritional foundations to more targeted products for people who don’t respond well to standard formulations. At Fairfield, we stock a wide selection of Seeking Health products used by practitioners and individuals who want more control and predictability in how supplements affect them.What makes Seeking Health different
Designed for people who don’t tolerate “standard” supplements well
Many supplements are formulated with the assumption that everyone responds the same way. In practice, this often isn’t true. Seeking Health products are commonly chosen by people who:- feel overstimulated by certain vitamins (especially B vitamins)
- react poorly to additives or excipients
- need more flexibility around dose and form
- want supplements that can be adjusted rather than “one-size-fits-all”
How to think about using Seeking Health products
The range naturally divides neatly into the categories we like to use:- foundational products that suit many people and can be used long-term
- targeted products designed for specific patterns, sensitivities, or short-term support
🟢 Foundational Seeking Health products
Suitable for many people, including longer-term use Foundational products are typically used to support:- baseline nutrient intake
- nervous system and muscle function
- digestion and fat absorption
- general immune and metabolic health
- Optimal Multivitamin – comprehensive daily nutrient support with careful balance
- Multivitamin One – simplified daily multivitamin for those wanting fewer ingredients
- Optimal Magnesium – well-tolerated magnesium support for muscles and nervous system
- Vitamin C Plus – foundational antioxidant and immune support
- Vitamin D3 – baseline vitamin D support when sun exposure is limited
- Vitamin D3 + K2 – combined fat-soluble vitamin support for bone and cardiovascular health
- Fish Oil – omega-3 fatty acids for general inflammatory balance
- Digestive Enzymes – broad-spectrum enzyme support to assist digestion
- Optimal Man – foundational nutrient support formulated for male health needs
🟡 Targeted Seeking Health products
Best used for specific sensitivities or clearer needs A large part of the Seeking Health range is designed for more specific situations, particularly where standard supplements haven’t worked well. Targeted products are commonly used to support areas such as:- histamine sensitivity or intolerance
- methylation-related nutrient needs
- immune regulation
- gut-related reactivity
- stress and neurotransmitter balance
- added on top of foundations
- used with clearer intent
- reassessed rather than taken indefinitely
A practical note on individual response
Seeking Health products are intentionally flexible — which means responses can vary. Some people notice benefits quickly. Others may need to:- adjust dose
- simplify what they’re taking
- allow more time between introducing products
