Zinc Picolinate 30 mg - NSF Certified for Sport

Thorne Zinc Picolinate 30 mg provides zinc bound to picolinic acid—a form the body recognizes and absorbs efficiently—to support immune function, testosterone metabolism, connective tissue integrity, and eye health as part of a consistent daily wellness routine. NSF Certified for Sport.

If there was a super mineral, then zinc would be a contender. Zinc is an essential micronutrient that is crucial to more than 200 enzymatic reactions and plays a key role in growth, immune function, testosterone metabolism, and numerous other functions in your body.*

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

If the body has trouble absorbing a nutrient, then it can't obtain the nutrient’s benefits. Thorne offers two highly absorbable forms of zinc:  Zinc Picolinate and Zinc Bisglycinate.  Zinc Picolinate is zinc that is bound to the organic acid picolinic acid, which is naturally made in the body from the amino acid L-Tryptophan. Zinc Bisglycinate is zinc that is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine – creating a true amino acid chelate.

Benefits of Thorne’s Zinc supplement suite:

• Zinc is necessary for the development and function of the cells related to our immune response*
• Essential for activation of a certain group of white blood cells – called T-lymphocytes (T-cells) – that moderate the body’s inflammatory response during times of immune stress*
• Studies have found that the antioxidant-promoting properties of zinc help mitigate oxidative stress – a process that damages cells and tissues and can lead to several chronic health conditions*
• Promotes healthy skin and eyes*
• Needed to support the body's normal production of testosterone, a hormone essential for promoting lean muscle mass*
