Zinc picolinate 15 mg
If any mineral should be nominated a super-mineral, zinc is a good contender, according to Thorne. Zinc plays a crucial role in more than 200 enzymatic reactions and is involved in growth, the immune system, healthy skin, reproduction and has many other functions in the body.
Highly absorbable
Zinc picolinate is more than 3 times better absorbed by the body than zinc citrate, for example. Picolinic acid is an organic acid and is also produced in the body itself. A dose of 15 mg of zinc picolinate is equivalent to about 45 mg of zinc citrate.
Also available in 30 mg
There is also a variant with a higher dose of 30 mg: Zinc picolinate 30 mg
