Zinc is an essential micronutrient that plays a key role in growth and development, immune function, and testosterone metabolism, along with numerous other functions.x 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.x

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.
