Zinc Lactate (Zn(C₃H₅O₃)₂) is a water-soluble organic zinc salt containing approximately 22% elemental zinc.
It offers high bioavailability, good solubility and a mild, non-metallic taste compared to inorganic zinc salts. Widely used in zinc supplements, oral care products (anti-halitosis, anti-plaque), functional beverages and food fortification where taste masking is important.
