Description

Zinc is an essential micronutrient that plays a key role in growth and development, immune function, and testosterone metabolism, along with numerous other functions in the body. It is the second- most abundant mineral in the body, after iron.

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

Zinc Bisglycinate is absorbed intact and does not compete with other minerals for absorption in the intestinal tract. A cross-over study demonstrated supplementation with zinc in the bisglycinate form resulted in 43% higher zinc blood levels compared to zinc gluconate.

Zinc Bisglycinate is zinc bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine, a calming neurotransmitter that supports relaxation and promotes the body’s production of glutathione, an important antioxidant and cofactor in detoxification and immune functions.*

FAQs
Frequently asked question

Is Zinc Bisglycinate worth buying compared to other forms of zinc supplements?

Yes. Zinc Bisglycinate is considered a superior form because it's absorbed intact and doesn't compete with other minerals for absorption. Many common zinc forms, like zinc oxide, have lower bioavailability. This means you get more benefit per dose. If you've tried other zinc supplements without noticeable results, Zinc Bisglycinate is a worthwhile upgrade for immune support, hormone health, and overall wellness.

What does zinc do for the body?

Zinc is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of biological processes. It supports immune function, growth and development, testosterone metabolism, wound healing, and eye health. It also plays a role in connective tissue integrity and reproductive health. Since the body doesn't store zinc, consistent daily intake through diet or supplementation is important for maintaining optimal health.

What is the difference between Zinc Bisglycinate and regular zinc?

Zinc Bisglycinate is zinc bound to two glycine amino acids, allowing it to be absorbed intact through the intestinal wall. This chelated form avoids competing with other minerals like calcium or iron for absorption. Regular zinc forms, such as zinc sulfate or oxide, are less bioavailable and may cause digestive discomfort. Zinc Bisglycinate is gentler on the stomach and more efficiently utilized.

How much zinc should I take daily?

This supplement provides 15 mg of zinc per serving, which aligns with commonly recommended daily intake levels for adults. The tolerable upper intake level for zinc is 40 mg per day for adults. It's best to follow the serving suggestion on the label and consult your healthcare provider if you have specific health conditions or are taking other supplements containing zinc.

Can zinc supplementation support immune health?

Yes. Zinc is well-studied for its role in immune function. Clinical research shows zinc supplementation can support the body's natural defense mechanisms and contribute to general wellness. It helps maintain the integrity of immune cells and may reduce the duration of common illnesses. Taking a bioavailable form like Zinc Bisglycinate ensures your body can efficiently use the mineral for immune support.
