In December, Medicine.lv in cooperation with SIA HealthAid Baltics offered to test HealthAid® Vegan Zinc Gluconate - a food supplement for normal immune function.

I decided to try HealthAid zinc mainly because I have been looking for a food supplement to help maintain normal immunity and overall health. I spend a lot of time working and playing sports on a daily basis, so I wanted to find additional support for my immune system to avoid seasonal cold risks and generally take care of my body's defences.
When I received the product, I was positively surprised by the visual presentation of the packaging - it is simple, but at the same time appealing enough. The size of the pack is convenient and compact, easily fitting into a bag, so I could take it with me to work and on the go. The vial itself is of high quality and gives the impression that the product is safe and reliable to use.
The tablets were easy to swallow and I took them as part of my daily routine, without any complications. In the first few days I took them in the morning with breakfast, as this was the easiest way to remember the dose I needed. The neutral smell and taste of the product were particularly important - this helped me to continue using it in the long term without any unpleasant aftertaste. The consistency of the tablets was standard - not too hard, so no discomfort and no specific nuances were perceptible.
As part of the test, I took HealthAid zinc one tablet a day for almost a month. I focused mainly on boosting immunity, especially in winter, when we are often confronted with colds and viruses. I have to admit that I did not feel strong cold symptoms during this period of use and my overall energy level seemed stable. In addition, I noticed that the condition of my nails and hair gradually improved - they became a little stronger and healthier. Although it is difficult to objectively assess the effects of one particular factor, I think zinc definitely had an effect, as it is known for its positive effects on the skin, hair and nails. An added value was the realisation that zinc is an essential trace element that helps maintain various bodily functions, such as enzyme function and cell protection against oxidative stress.
Overall, I am glad I tried HealthAid Zinc. My conclusion is that this product is a convenient and useful addition to the daily routine to support the overall health of the body and to ensure sufficient zinc in the body. I recommend it to anyone who wants to strengthen their immune system and take care of their long-term health.

I volunteered to try HealthAid Vegan Zinc Gluconate as I have been regularly ill recently. As I take in enough of most other important nutrients, I wanted to take extra zinc to boost my immunity.
The packaging is neutral grey and the bottle contains 90 tablets, each containing 10 mg of zinc. As I take one tablet a day, this pack is enough for three months, which is very good value for money. It is easy to take - there are no additional conditions, just remember to drink the required dose per day.
I have been using the product for a month so far. And two months to go. However, I can already see some improvement. My immunity does seem to have stabilised a little, I have noticed that I feel better, I seem to have more energy. I read that zinc also improves the menstrual cycle - probably a coincidence, but this time my periods really were like clockwork. Overall, I am satisfied with the product and will definitely continue to use it in the coming months.

While looking for information on improving immunity, I came across a post on the health portal Medicine.lv about the dietary supplement Vegan Zinc Gluconate, offered by HealthAid Baltics Ltd.
I read the description carefully and learned that zinc can help improve immunity, maintain bone, hair, nail and skin health, normal vision and normal testosterone levels in the blood. I also consulted my doctor about taking this supplement and got confirmation on the recommended daily dose - to start with 1 tablet a day. I then volunteered to try HealthAid Vegan Zinc Gluconate.
After a long illness, I want to improve my immunity, reduce hormonal problems, digestive problems, maintain the health of my bones, hair, nails and skin and improve my eyesight. I also have problems with tissue healing after surgery.
My GP and I concluded that I was not getting the right amount of zinc in my diet because I had not eaten meat for several years, which I have just reintroduced back into my diet.
The HealthAid Vegan Zinc Gluconate supplement has a simple design - white background with grey and black, which is good because it cannot be confused with other colourful supplement designs. The small dark glass bottle contains 90 small, white, odourless and tasteless tablets.
It is easy and convenient to use as the Vegan Zinc Gluconate tablets are small and easy to swallow with a drink of water, compared to other large tablets which I find difficult.
On my doctor's advice, I take one tablet a day in the morning.
There are 90 tablets in a pack, so I have three months' supply.
After a month of taking it, I can already feel the results, my well-being has improved, my fatigue has decreased and I am starting to recover from being ill, the quality of my sleep has improved and my mood has also improved, my cheerfulness is gradually returning. My bowel movements have also returned to normal, as before there were several weeks of liquid bowel movements, gas and bloating. Of course, other factors could also have improved the functioning of the abdomen, but it improved quite quickly when I started taking zinc. I also noticed that I no longer have the appetite that usually causes overeating. This was a very pleasant surprise that I had not even expected. This is very important for me because I want to get rid of the extra kilos.
I think that if I continue to take HealthAid Vegan Zinc Gluconate, I will be able to appreciate the results in the long term.
Many thanks to Medicine.lv and HealthAid Baltics for this wonderful opportunity!

I dislocated my leg 2 months ago while playing sports. At first it hurt and I had to have my ankle spared, later my knee got sore and hurt. Both areas became stiffer and I had to halve my movements because of the pain. The main recommendation from the doctors and physiotherapist was to include zinc supplements in the daily diet - as zinc maintains bone health and the immune system, it is very useful when you have suffered an injury. I read an article on the health website medicine.lv about HealthAid Vegan Zinc Gluconate, which is a valuable mineral and stimulates enzyme activity. And as I needed help with joint maintenance and repair, I signed up for a test.
I took 2 small white round tablets a day, with food. Over time, the pain in my joints gradually became less and less, until it went away completely.
I don't claim that HealthAid Vegan Zinc Gluconate is a miracle cure, but the effectiveness in improving my health was noticeable, so I recommend it to others!

I volunteered to try HealthAid Zinc because I wanted to boost my immunity during the winter, and it appealed to me that this zinc is in chelated form and has a pure formulation compared to other supplements. In addition, I also take vitamin C and vitamin D.
One pack is enough for 3 months if taken one tablet a day. It has now been a month since I started taking zinc and I can safely say that in that time my energy levels have increased. Overall I feel well and have been able to successfully ward off viruses, even though others around me are ill. A nice bonus is that my hair has improved in appearance, falling out less and looking healthier. I have seen that zinc is really important for immunity and for all the body's systems in general and I plan to continue taking it. Thank you!
