## About
Dense and gray-white, it takes its time dissolving against the inside of the cheek, heavier than a breath mint has any business being. The flavor is mineral first, peppermint second: this is not candy wearing a vitamin's name, and it does not pretend otherwise.Zinc has long come to the table in oysters, red meat and pumpkin seed, foods traditional diets leaned on without knowing why. Here it is zinc gluconate, chosen for how readily it dissolves and how well it is tolerated, cut with nothing but a little peppermint oil: no dyes, no sugar, no syrup to disguise the mineral underneath. The lozenge format is deliberate, made to dissolve slowly in the mouth rather than be swallowed whole like a capsule.DetailsZinc gluconate lozengesFlavored with a little peppermint oilNo dyes, no sugar, no syrupHow to useLet one dissolve slowly, without chewing, a few times a day if you like. Keep the tin in a coat pocket. It is a supplement, not a medicine.A small, unglamorous habit, and unglamorous habits are usually the ones that hold up.
