Gluconic acid zinc (II) salt increases the absorption of zinc (and other minerals) by increasing the amount of zinc that is available. It is used in a variety of scientific research applications to study its potential to improve fertility, immune system function, and skin health. It is also studied for its potential to reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, and the risk of certain cancers.
