How to use this page
Separate this ingredient from its product neighborhood
This is a mixed product neighborhood: 303 of 636 records have some flagged component, while the rest do not. Compare 3 Hour Mint, Peppermint; 3-2-1 Plan Shakes; 30g Protein Nutritional Shake Dulce de Leche to see how surrounding formulations change; do not assign their 20–100 score range to Zinc Gluconate itself. The ingredient most often sits in the lower half of the list, and Beverages supplies the most useful like-for-like starting point for a label review.
303 of 636 linked records have some flagged component
All 601 NOVA-classified records cluster most heavily in Group 4, while the first-category labels split across several shelves. That makes the 20–100 score spread more informative than the average alone: investigate the low end, identify the actual flagged row, and compare it with a similar unflagged formulation before drawing a conclusion.
Next check: pair one flagged product with a similar unflagged product from the same shelf category.
What else is usually in the same product as Zinc Gluconate
Across the 636 products on this site that list Zinc Gluconate, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often. The comparison column is how often each one appears across every product with a parsed ingredient list, so the two figures are measured over the same set. Sucralose shows up about 12.3x more often with Zinc Gluconate than in the catalogue at large.
| Additive | Shared products | Share of Zinc Gluconate products | Share of all products |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sucralose | 211 | 33.2% | 2.7% |

| Monk fruit extract | 32 | 5% | 0.5% |
