Product overview

Thorne Zinc Picolinate is a form of zinc that offers a better degree of absorbability than many other forms of supplemental zinc available. This is ideal for those people and groups with a higher demand for zinc such as high intensity athletes losing zinc in sweat, prospective parents supporting their fertility, people with compromised nutritional intake or digestive capacity, the elderly, the immuno-compromised, as well as anyone wishing to support skin health.

• Zinc is an essential nutrient for supporting growth, immune health and sex hormones production
• Picolinic acid is naturally made in the body from the amino acid L-Tryptophan to support absorption
• Zinc also supports connective tissue, eye health and helps regulate nervous system function

Quintessential Zinc

Zinc is one of those all-round mineral superstars that plays a vital role in supporting health and general wellbeing. It is involved in over 200 enzymatic reactions in the body including those associated with growth and reproduction, such as genetic expression, cell division and growth. The picolinic acid form is a natural mineral chelator produced from the amino acid tryptophan that aids mineral absorption in the small intestine enabling it to be taken into the cells where its is needed.

A key mineral for everyone, especially men

The prostate gland in men contains the highest amount of zinc of any soft tissue in the body. A good supply of zinc is needed to support the health of the prostate, as well as natural testosterone production for fertility, lean muscle mass and a healthy libido. Zinc also supports protein synthesis such as for keratin, a key building block for a healthy head of hair. Additionally, zinc is involved in the conversion of food into energy to improve endurances, stamina, and performance.
