Zinc Picolinate 15 mg

Description

Among its many important functions, zinc picolinate is essential for growth, immune system functioning, testosterone metabolism, and as a cofactor of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase.  This product is provided in capsule form to eliminate binders, coatings or allergenic ingredients which may be detrimental to the user.

Zinc deficiency has been associated with adverse impacts on a number of structures and functions of the body.* Individuals susceptible to zinc deficiency include the elderly, the immuno-compromised, those on parenteral nutrition, and burn victims.*

Clinical studies demonstrate zinc picolinate supplementation can increase general wellness, and that it has a beneficial impact on connective tissue as well as reproductive health and eye health.*

Because of zinc’s essential role in human nutrition and metabolism, there is much interest in the absorption of zinc from both dietary intake and dietary supplements. While dietary zinc intake is effective in most situations, not all zinc dietary supplements have equal bioavailability.

Picolinic acid is a natural mineral chelator produced in the body. It is produced from the amino acid tryptophan in the liver and kidneys and is transported to the pancreas. During digestion, it is secreted from the pancreas into the small intestine, where it binds to minerals to facilitate their absorption.*

Because picolinic acid facilitates the absorption of minerals, Zinc Picolinate is absorbed to a higher degree than is other zinc supplements.*
