The dietary supplement
Zinc Picolinate contains zinc in picolinate form, which is directly absorbed by the body, compared to other forms of zinc.
Zinc is an essential element for maintaining life. More than 3000 proteins in the human body contain zinc. Additionally, there are over 12 types of cells in the human body that contain zinc ions, such as brain cells, salivary glands, the prostate, the immune system, and the intestines.
Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the protection of cells from oxidative stress, and the maintenance of the skin's normal condition.
Zinc deficiency can cause reduced immune response, and for this reason, its intake is necessary for a strong immune system and healthy cell function.
The dietary supplement
Zinc Picolinate contains zinc picolinate, which is produced by chelating zinc with picolinic acid. It is a more bioavailable form of zinc than others and can be absorbed more easily than zinc citrate or zinc gluconate.

Benefits
- Zinc is the second most abundant element in the human body after iron and is present in every cell. It is important for fighting infections and healing injuries.
- It is a cofactor in more than three hundred enzymes, involved in gene expression, cell proliferation, and DNA creation.
- Zinc can significantly reduce the risk of age-related diseases, such as pneumonia, infection, and age-related macular degeneration, while improving the immune response, enhancing the activity of T-cells, which help protect the body from infections.
- It contributes to hormone production and increases testosterone, which is very important for both men and women. It is essential for the health of cardiovascular cells, while reducing inflammation and oxidative stress.
- Zinc has a positive effect on individuals with acne problems, as it stops bacterial growth and regulates the secretion of oil from glands.
- The human body cannot produce or store zinc, and therefore it needs to receive an adequate amount through diet or supplementation to meet the body's daily needs.
Zinc deficiency can cause:
- frequent colds
- hair loss
- open wounds on the skin
- lack of alertness
- reduced sense of smell and taste
- weight loss
- infertility
- acne
Studies have shown that daily zinc intake can reduce the duration of a cold by up to 33%, while another study in 2007 determined that 45 mg of elemental zinc per day reduced the frequency of infection in older adults by 66%.
Individuals who are particularly sensitive to zinc deficiency are athletes because they lose zinc through sweat, vegans and vegetarians, because they have low dietary intake, the elderly due to insufficient absorption, adolescents, individuals with Crohn's disease, and those with a weakened immune system.
DosageTake 1 capsule daily with a glass of water or as directed by your doctor. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
