⚠ 5 red flags

  • Partial report: the published lab report measures zinc content (and microbiology) but not heavy metals.
  • Brandl told us on 29 Oct 2026 that this published report is for an earlier formula without rice flour. The current batch (with rice flour) is being tested externally for zinc, microbiology and lead, cadmium, mercury and arsenic; we'll update this page when we see that report.
  • 25 mg zinc a day is EFSA’s adult upper level from all sources (2006) and the UK Expert Group on Vitamins and Minerals’ safe upper level from supplements (2003); do not add other zinc-containing supplements on top.
  • Contains rice flour as a filler.
  • The sample was sent in by the brand: check the batch number on your pack.
