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 key role in growth, immune function, testosterone metabolism, and countless other functions in your body.

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

If your body has trouble absorbing a nutrient, you won't be able to get the benefits of that nutrient.

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

Thorne's Zinc Picolinate Supplement Bundle Benefits:

• Zinc is necessary for the development and function of 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 immunological stress

• Studies have found that zinc's antioxidant-promoting properties help mitigate oxidative stress—a process that damages cells and tissues and can lead to several chronic health conditions.

• Promotes healthy skin and eyes

• Needed to support the body's normal production of testosterone, a hormone essential for promoting lean muscle mass

Because an athlete needs to know 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 over 200 substances banned by many major sports organizations, including stimulants, narcotics, steroids, diuretics, beta-2 agonists, and masking agents.
