Captain Drake Zinc Citrate is available as dihydrate and trihydrate and is produced by complete neutralization of citric acid with a high purity zing source, subsequent precipitation and dehydration. Zinc Citrate is mainly used in dental care products such as toothpastes, mouthwashes and chewing gums due to its anti microbial and anti-inflammatory effects and its ability to reduce or inhibit the formation of dental plaque and tartar. in pharmaceuticals, zinc citrate fights common colds. zing is increasingly used in food supplements, functional foods and beverages. as an organic mineral source it is preferred in many applications over inorganic sources because of its superior bio availability, physiological compatibility and nearly neutral taste compared to other zinc salts. among the organic zinc salts zinc citrate has one of the highest zinc content (31 3%). zing citrate is supplied as a white to almost white powder. it is practically odorless, slightly soluble in water, soluble in diluted acid and practically insoluble in ethanol (96 %). zing citrate has an inverse solubility.
