Zinc "Feel Natural", 365 tabl. of 25 mg Zn
![[Zinc bisglycinate]](../pics/zink_feel_natural.jpg "Zinc bisglycinate 'Feel Natural', 365 tabl. of 25 mg Zn")
Properties:
- "Feel Natural" zinc-bisglycinate is a dietary supplement for zinc supply (food for special medical purposes).
- One can contains 365 tablets. Each tablet contains 25 mg elemental zinc (in the form of zinc bisglycinate).
- Produced in Germany for Vita Naturalis UG, Berliner Allee 47, 40212 Düsseldorf, Germany.
- Ingredients: Zinc bisglycinate, filler: microcrystalline cellulose.
- "Feel Natural" zinc bisglycinate does not contain any additives known to be incompatible with histamine intolerance or MCAS.
- Dosage: According to the Ordinance of the Swiss Federal Dept. for health Affairs (FDHA) on Special Foodstuffs, a maximum daily dose of 15 mg zinc may be recommended for adults in Switzerland. We therefore recommend dividing the tablet and taking approx. 12.5 mg per day.
- Precautionary measures: Zinc is an antagonist of copper. Intensive long-term use can lead to a copper deficiency in the long term. We therefore recommend that zinc products are not taken daily, but only occasionally (e.g. approx. 2x per week). They can be taken regularly or as required (e.g. at the first signs of an emerging cold).
- Storage and shelf life: Keep dry. Close the lid well. Zinc is a stable chemical element. The zinc content per tablet therefore does not decrease even over centuries, but remains constant. Zinc is antimicrobial and therefore does not spoil. Best before: 12/2021 ("Best before" means that the product can be used for an unlimited period of time beyond the date mentioned, as long as no visible or taste changes are noticeable).
- Vegan. Zinc is obtained from zinc ore. Cellulose is of plant origin.
Price, conditions:
- Members: 15.50 CHF per can of 365 plus shipping cost

Let us know by e-mail which products and quantities you would like to order:

in your mail client
If no mail client is installed and linked, you can copy this text template into an empty e-mail or send us your order in a formless e-mail.
You will receive an order confirmation with invoice as soon as possible. This is not automated but done manually, so it may take a few hours (in rare cases maybe even 1-3 days). To speed up the process, you can also pay the total amount (including shipping costs) before you receive the invoice, according to the prices on this page.
In case of any uncertainties, you are welcome to ask us your questions about the products offered or to formulate your e-mail as a price inquiry (non-binding free offer inquiry) at first.

To help you transferring money as easily and inexpensively as possible, we offer you several accounts in different countries (USA, UK, Australia, European Union, Switzerland) or in different payment systems (ACH, Wire, SEPA, SWIFT, FPS, BACS, CHAPS), with different account currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, CHF).
Our bank details can be found here.

This is available in Switzerland only.
Fill in an empty red deposit slip (payment slip) with the payment details of our PostFinance account. Empty red deposit slips are available at the waiting area of all Swiss post offices. Hand it then to the person behind the post office counter, together with the cash (amount of the invoice plus the post fee of about 1.50 CHF which is charged to us).
Please make sure that from our many accounts you choose the one with the currency CHF (Swiss francs).
It can sometimes take several days until the amount is credited to our bank account and we recorded it. In urgent cases, you better choose one of the faster payment methods below.
C) PayPal / credit card
If you prefer to pay by PayPal / credit card instead of bank transfer, please let us know when you place your order. Contact us with your PayPal e-mail address. We will then send a payment request in the currency CHF to this e-mail address, so that you can pay the invoice amount with a few clicks in PayPal (with your PayPal account balance or credit card).
D) WesternUnion® - online with debit/credit card or bank account
1) Visit the WesternUnion Website and select your country and language. The first time you use the service please register for an user account.
2) Follow the instructions “send money online†at the WesternUnion Website. Please send the money to our CHF bank account (preferred) or for cash pickup at agent location (only if urgent).
The fees are at your expense and are around 5 USD, depending on your country. Use the calculator on that page to determine the necessary amount including the fees (preview of fees and exchange rate).
If you send money for cash pickup, please let us know the transfer number by e-mail as we are not notified by WesternUnion.
E) WesternUnion® - cash at agent location
1) Visit the WesternUnion Website and select your country and language to inform you about available services and agent locations near your residence. In many countries worldwide, Western Union has a dense network of partners (banks, car rentals, ticket offices, etc.).

F) Cash payment / send cash by letter post
Pick up: By appointment you are welcome to pick up your order at our address in Marthalen (during the day or evening, during the week or on weekends) and pay cash.
Send cash by letter post: If the above mentioned payment methods are too complicated or not available to you, there is still the possibility to put the amount in an envelope and send it to our postal address. As the money could possibly be stolen in the post, we do not recommend this payment method and you must bear the risk yourself. However, all amounts that reach us in this way will be gladly accepted and booked as soon as possible. Accepted currencies: CHF, EUR, USD. (Tips: Send cash well camouflaged so that the money is not palpable and does not jingle: Use paper notes instead of coins if possible. Hide it between half cardboard (e.g. an old greeting card. Stick coins with adhesive tape, as their sharp edges can easily damage the envelope and fall out. Choose an envelope made of strong paper).
If, despite this choice, no workable solution can be found in your case (in the state of great exhaustion and listlessness, sometimes everything seems to be too complicated), then please ask a friend or relative if he could do the transfer for you, or ask the customer service of your preferred payment service provider.
