THORNE Zinc Picolinate 30 mg Dietary Supplement Capsules 60 per Bottle

If there were a super mineral, then zinc would be a contender. Zinc is an essential micronutrient that is crucial to more than 200 enzymatic reactions and plays a key role in growth, immune function, testosterone metabolism, and numerous other functions in your body. If the body has trouble absorbing a nutrient, then it can't obtain all of the nutrient's benefits. Thorne offers zinc in a highly absorbable form – zinc picolinate. Zinc picolinate is zinc that is bound to the organic acid picolinic acid, which is naturally made in the body from the amino acid L-Tryptophan.

• From supporting immune function to reproductive health, zinc is an essential nutrient that plays a key role in your health.
• Zinc is necessary for the development and function of the cells related to the immune response; it's essential for activation of a certain group of white blood cells – called T-lymphocytes (T-cells) – that moderate the body's inflammatory response during times of immune stress.
• Studies have found that the antioxidant-promoting properties of zinc help mitigate oxidative stress – a process that damages cells and tissues and can lead to several chronic health conditions.
• The production of testosterone is partly dependent on zinc; testosterone is a hormone essential for promoting muscle mass.
• Bottle contains 180 capsules – smaller in size than most zinc capsules.
