Zinc Bisglycinate: A Highly Absorbable, Gentle Essential Mineral
Thorne’s Zinc Bisglycinate provides an optimal 15-mg daily dose of a vital trace mineral, delivered in a form that is exceptionally well-absorbed and gentle on the stomach. Zinc is a foundational nutrient that acts as a cofactor in more than 200 enzymatic reactions, supporting everything from immune function and wound healing to reproductive health and brain function. Because the body can’t store zinc, a consistent daily supply is essential for overall wellness. This formula, certified by NSF for Sport®, is the trusted choice for athletes and health-conscious individuals alike.
How It Works: The Chelated Zinc Advantage
Many forms of zinc can be poorly absorbed and may cause gastrointestinal upset. Thorne solves this by using TRAACS® Zinc Bisglycinate, a true mineral chelate.
Superior Bioavailability for Maximum Benefit
In this form, zinc is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. This creates a stable complex that can be easily absorbed in the intestines without competing with other minerals for uptake. This superior bioavailability ensures that your body gets the full benefit of the supplement, supporting the normal development and function of immune cells like neutrophils and natural killer cells, which are your body’s first line of defense.
Foundational Support for Whole-Body Health
Beyond its critical role in immunity, zinc promotes healthy skin and eyes, supports normal testosterone production and prostate health, and is a key component of the body’s primary antioxidant, superoxide dismutase (SOD). The 15-mg dose in this formula is ideal for individuals looking to maintain optimal zinc levels for long-term foundational health.
