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.* It is the second most abundant trace mineral in the body, second only to iron.

Clinical studies have demonstrated that zinc picolinate exhibits superior absorption compared to zinc citrate and zinc gluconate, with significantly higher amounts of zinc found in hair, urine, and red blood cells when supplementing with zinc picolinate.*

Zinc Picolinate is zinc bound to picolinic acid, which is produced in the body from the amino acid tryptophan. Picolinic acid facilitates the absorption of zinc in the small intestine.

Zinc picolinate has a long history of use as a supplement and has been the subject of numerous clinical studies

Thorne offers two different forms of zinc – zinc picolinate and zinc bisglycinate. Both forms exhibit superior absorption rates compared to the citrate, gluconate, and oxide forms of zinc. Although zinc bisglycinate has data showing better absorption compared to zinc picolinate, zinc picolinate has a longer history of use as a supplement and has been the subject of more clinical studies.

FAQs

Frequently asked question

Is zinc picolinate worth it compared to other forms of zinc supplements?

Yes. Zinc picolinate is considered one of the most bioavailable forms of zinc available. Clinical studies show it absorbs better than zinc citrate and zinc gluconate, meaning your body actually uses more of what you take. If you've tried other zinc supplements without noticeable results, switching to zinc picolinate is a smart upgrade for better efficacy and value.

What does zinc picolinate do for the body?

Zinc picolinate delivers elemental zinc in a highly absorbable form. Zinc supports immune function, healthy growth and development, wound healing, and testosterone metabolism. It's the second most abundant trace mineral in the body after iron and is involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions, making it essential for overall health and daily wellbeing.

How much zinc picolinate should I take daily?

This product provides 15 mg of zinc per serving, which aligns with general recommended daily intake guidelines for adults. Most people do well with one serving per day. It's best taken with food to minimize any stomach discomfort. Consult your healthcare provider before adjusting your dosage, especially if you take other supplements or medications.

Can zinc picolinate help support testosterone levels?

Zinc plays a recognized role in testosterone metabolism, and adequate zinc levels are important for maintaining healthy hormone balance in men. Zinc deficiency has been linked to lower testosterone levels. Supplementing with a highly absorbable form like zinc picolinate may help support normal testosterone production, particularly in individuals who are deficient or have increased zinc needs.

Who should consider taking a zinc supplement?

People who may benefit from zinc supplementation include athletes, older adults, vegetarians, vegans, and those with digestive conditions that affect nutrient absorption. Zinc is not produced by the body, so it must come from diet or supplements. If your diet is low in zinc-rich foods like meat, shellfish, or legumes, a daily zinc picolinate supplement is worth considering.
