Built by someone
who has lived it.
Wendy Yuan once lived under the weight of a severe metabolic illness. For years, the simplest decisions about food, energy, and daily life were not simple at all.
With her family standing beside her, she walked a long and difficult path back to health — nearly a decade of careful recovery, treatment, and lifestyle change.
After her recovery, she went to Johns Hopkins University to study health and the business of healthcare, earning two master's degrees. She has worked in the medical sector ever since.
In 2024, Wendy Yuan founded Zinca Inc. in Canada. Together with her family and team — all of whom understand first-hand how metabolic disease can shape a person's life — she committed Zinca to one purpose: develop the highest-quality products and stand alongside everyone living with metabolic conditions.
“I know what it's like when food becomes a daily problem instead of a daily comfort. Zinca exists so other people don't have to figure this out alone.”

Doctors, scientists, and food experts.
Our team brings together physicians, health researchers, and food-industry scientists. Every product we develop passes through clinical, nutritional, and manufacturing review — we hold our work to the highest production standards because the people we serve deserve nothing less.
Physicians
Clinical perspective on metabolic conditions and user-appropriate nutrition.
Health Specialists
Dietitians and metabolic-health researchers shaping evidence-informed product design.
Food Scientists
Industrial food-science capability turning clinical insight into manufacturable products.
We hold our products to the highest standard.
Every Zinca product is designed for people whose health depends on what they eat. That means traceable ingredient sourcing, certified manufacturing partners, transparent labelling, and product-design choices that put user outcomes ahead of margin.
Traceable sourcing
Every ingredient documented from source to batch — vetted for purity and traceability.
Rigorous manufacturing
We work only with certified manufacturers.
Transparent labelling
Honest macros, sourcing, and what we don't include.
User-first design
Decisions tested against user outcome, not margin.
