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.

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 buying compared to other forms of zinc?

Yes. Zinc picolinate is widely considered the most bioavailable form of zinc. Clinical studies show it absorbs better than zinc citrate and zinc gluconate, with measurably higher zinc levels in hair, urine, and red blood cells. If you want to maximize the benefits of zinc supplementation, picolinate is the superior choice. At 30 mg per serving and 180 servings per bottle, it also offers excellent long-term value.

We stand behind our products and want you to shop with confidence.

What does zinc picolinate do for the body?

Zinc picolinate supports several critical functions, including immune health, growth and development, and testosterone metabolism. As the second most abundant trace mineral in the body after iron, zinc is involved in hundreds of enzymatic processes. The picolinate form binds zinc to picolinic acid, enhancing absorption so your body can actually use what you take.

How much zinc is in each serving and how long does one bottle last?

Each serving provides 30 mg of zinc picolinate. One bottle contains 180 servings, giving you a six-month supply when taken once daily. This makes it a cost-effective option for maintaining consistent zinc levels over time without frequent reordering.

Who should consider taking a zinc supplement?

Anyone who may not get adequate zinc through diet alone can benefit, including athletes, vegetarians, vegans, and older adults. Low zinc intake can affect immune response, recovery, and hormonal balance. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you have existing health conditions or take medications.

When is the best time to take zinc picolinate?

Zinc picolinate can be taken with or without food, though some people find it gentler on the stomach when taken with a meal. Avoid taking it at the same time as calcium or iron supplements, as these minerals can compete for absorption. Consistency matters most, so pick a time that fits your daily routine and stick with it.
