Zinc price per mg — cheapest first

The zinc figure on a label is elemental zinc, not the weight of the chelate or salt. "Zinc gluconate 50mg" and "zinc 50mg" are different quantities, and this page uses the latter — the elemental figure — as the amount. Products of different forms therefore read on the same basis in the table.

Price per mg ranges from a low of $0.000472/mg to a median of $0.0779/mg. The median is 165× the lowest, so the cost of the same 1mg of Zinc spreads over a hundredfold across products. That means the per-unit gap between products near the top and the middle of the ranking is that large.

Price per mg is computed for 2,983 of the 3,189 listed (94%). The rest, missing a sale price or amount, are placed at the bottom of the ranking and excluded from the statistics above.

The Zinc amount per serving ranges from 0mg to 150mg, with a median of 11mg. The maximum is only 14× the median, so most products cluster near the median, and the price-per-mg ranking reflects price differences more than amount gaps.

The products in this list come from 489 brands, and the sort order is determined solely by price per mg.

Products classified by label form notation number 2,218 (70% of the total), and the most frequently noted form is Zinc citrate with 740. Products with no form notation, or whose notation does not match the classification rules, do not appear on the per-form pages, so the per-form product counts sum to less than the total product count above.

Zinc is often paired with copper or included in a multivitamin, so blends are mixed into this list. For a blend, the price per mg divides the entire product price by zinc alone, folding the cost of everything alongside it into that unit price.
