Thorne Zinc Picolinate 15mg
high-purity -60capsules
QR165.00
Premium dietary supplement formulated for optimal cellular absorption. Zinc is an essential trace mineral required for over 200 enzymatic reactions in the body. In this formulation, elemental zinc is bound to picolinic acid—an organic acid naturally produced in the body from tryptophan—which acts as a natural chaperone to help transport the mineral efficiently across the intestinal wall. Clinical studies show that zinc picolinate is absorbed significantly better than many common forms like zinc citrate or zinc gluconate, making it easier for your body to utilize without causing heavy stomach irritation.

Long-Term Consideration: If you plan on taking high-potency zinc supplements daily for an extended period, keep in mind that high zinc intake can occasionally compete with copper absorption. Consider discussing a balanced mineral intake with your doctor if used long-term.
Tip: Consistency matters most with trace minerals. Taking your supplement at the same meal every day helps maintain steady cellular levels.
