Blackmores Bio Zinc or Swisse Zinc+ ?

Hi everyone, I recently read that Zinc supplements can help with acne but does anyone know if Blackmores is better or Swisse is better?

Please let me know.

Thanks heaps.

    I tried Swisse Vitamins when it first came out and it must be high potency as I broke out in mouth ulcers. I trust Blackmores and also currently taking Natures Own Multivitamins which I feel good about .

      That`s unfortunate 🙁 I hope I won`t have the same problem. Trying out the swisse zinc now and hopefully it`s not gonna cause me a problem!

        Hope it works for you Guitar. Zinc helps fight immunity so its a good supplement too .

    I’ve had good success with using Blackmore’s Bio Zinc. If you’re unsure I would definitely recommend at least speaking to your local pharmacist.

      Hi rhian38,
      I have decided to try out swisse. I did feel blackmores is good too.

    Unless they’ve recently changed, Swisse are rubbish across the boatd. Their products are inferior and they invest heavily in marketing over product quality. I use ethical nutrients where possible, I think they have a zinc supplement. If you want the best I’d pop into a naturopath as they often sell better cc quality tgan what you can get in stores.

    guitaraestic, I think that you’re better off going to your local health food store where there is a naturopath, or if you can afford it, having a personal consultation with a naturopath. They should be able to advise you on which zinc supplement is best for you. It is possible that another supplement is better for your needs. If your medical practitioner works with complementary therapies, they should be able to help you. Much can depend on what type of health issues, if any, you have. Also, if you see a
    GP, they may wish to give you blood tests for hormonal imbalances etc.

      Hi Petal,
      Thanks for the advice! I am currently taking the Blackmores Bio Zinc and I feel like it is helping me with my back acne after 3mths. Just not sure if I should continue purchasing Blackmores or experiment with Swisse and am wondering if there is anyone out there who tried both.
