Zinc is an essential micronutrient that plays a key role in growth and development, immune function, and testosterone metabolism, along with numerous other functions in the body. It is the second-most abundant mineral in the body, after iron.
Clinical studies demonstrate zinc supplementation can increase general wellness and that it has a beneficial impact on connective tissue, as well as reproductive and eye health.*
Zinc Bisglycinate is absorbed intact, and it does not compete with other minerals for absorption in the intestinal tract. A cross-over study demonstrated supplementation with zinc in the bisglycinate form resulted in 43 percent higher zinc blood levels compared to zinc gluconate.
Zinc Bisglycinate is zinc bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine, a calming neurotransmitter that supports relaxation and promotes the body’s production of glutathione, an important antioxidant and cofactor in detoxification and immune functions.*
