Zinc Bisglycinate

Zinc is an essential trace element. It supports the immune system, contributes to healthy skin, hair, and nails, and helps protect cells from oxidative stress. It also plays a role in fertility, reproduction, and nutrient metabolism.

Although zinc is present in food, some people may not absorb enough of it, especially those following a vegetarian diet, experiencing stress, chronic fatigue, or digestive issues. In these cases, zinc supplementation can help fill potential deficiencies and support overall well-being.

Zinc is a trace element essential for many body functions:

Here are the claims approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):

Zinc contributes to:

• to protect cells against oxidative stress,
• to the normal functioning of the immune system,
• to maintain normal vision,
• to maintain normal levels of testosterone in the blood,
• to normal acid-base metabolism,
• to a normal carbohydrate metabolism,
• to normal fatty acid metabolism,
• to normal metabolism of vitamin A,
• to normal DNA synthesis,
• to normal cognitive function,
• to maintain normal bone structure,
• to the maintenance of normal skin, nails and hair,
• to the process of cell division,
• to normal protein synthesis,
• to normal fertility and reproduction,
• to normal macronutrient metabolism.

A zinc deficiency can lead to weakened immunity, blemish-prone skin, brittle or thinning hair, slower wound healing, altered taste and smell, and persistent fatigue.

These forms of zinc differ in terms of bioavailability and digestive tolerance:

• Zinc bisglycinate: Highly absorbable and gentle on the stomach due to its chelated form.
• Zinc gluconate: Commonly used, with decent absorption but sometimes less well tolerated than bisglycinate.
• Zinc citrate: Moderate absorption, often chosen for its alkalizing properties.

Zinc bisglycinate is often considered the best form of zinc as it is highly bioavailable and well tolerated by the stomach. Its chelation with glycine improves absorption and reduces the risk of digestive discomfort.

Yes, zinc bisglycinate is known to be easier to digest. Thanks to its association with glycine, it is better absorbed and avoids the stomach discomfort that some other forms of zinc may cause.

Vitamin B6 enhances zinc absorption and utilization in the body. It also plays a key role in energy metabolism, hormonal balance, and immune function, making this combination particularly beneficial.
