If there were a super mineral, then zinc would be a candidate. Zinc is an essential micronutrient that is crucial for more than 200 enzymatic reactions and plays a fundamental role in growth, immune function, testosterone metabolism, and numerous other functions in your body.

Clinical studies demonstrate that zinc supplementation can increase general wellness and has a beneficial impact on connective tissue, as well as on reproductive and eye health.

If the body has trouble absorbing a nutrient, it cannot reap the benefits of the nutrient.

Thorne offers two highly absorbable forms of zinc: Zinc Picolinate and Zinc Bisglycinate. Zinc picolinate is zinc that is bound to the organic acid picolinic acid, which is produced naturally in the body from the amino acid L-tryptophan. Zinc Bisglycinate is zinc that is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine - creating a true amino acid chelate.

Benefits of Thorne's Zinc Picolinate supplement:

• Zinc is necessary for the development and function of the cells related to our immune response
• Essential for the 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 various chronic health conditions
• Promotes healthy skin and eyes
• Necessary to support the body's normal production of testosterone, a hormone essential for promoting lean muscle mass

As an athlete needs to know that their supplements are reliable and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of more than 200 substances banned by many major athletic organizations, including stimulants, narcotics, steroids, diuretics, beta-2 agonists, and masking agents.
