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

Clinical studies show that zinc supplementation can increase general well-being and has a beneficial impact on connective tissue, as well as reproductive and ocular health.

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

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

Benefits of Thorne’s zinc 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 periods 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 testosterone production, a hormone essential for promoting lean muscle mass
