Zinc Bisglycinate: A Highly Absorbable, Gentle Essential Mineral
Thorne’s Zinc Bisglycinate offers an optimal way to supplement with one of the body’s most vital trace minerals. Essential for more than 200 enzymatic processes, zinc is a foundational nutrient that plays a critical role in immune function, hormone metabolism, reproductive health, and tissue repair. Despite its importance, many individuals don’t get enough zinc through diet alone. This formula provides a superior form of zinc that is well-tolerated and exceptionally well-absorbed, ensuring you get the maximum benefit from every capsule.*
How It Works: The Chelated Zinc Advantage
Many forms of zinc can be difficult for the body to absorb and may cause gastrointestinal upset. Thorne solves this problem by using TRAACS® Zinc Bisglycinate, a chelated form of zinc where the mineral is bound to two glycine amino acids. This process creates a stable molecule that is carried through the digestive system intact, preventing it from binding with other dietary elements and ensuring it’s more readily absorbed in the intestines. This gentle, highly bioavailable form supports individuals who are at a higher risk for deficiency, including those with digestive issues, vegetarians, athletes, and the elderly.*
By providing a potent 30mg dose, this supplement effectively supports numerous bodily functions. It is crucial for the normal development and function of immune cells like neutrophils and natural killer cells, making it a cornerstone for immune readiness. Zinc also promotes healthy skin and eyes, is essential for wound healing, supports normal testosterone levels and prostate health in men, and plays a key role in the body’s antioxidant network, protecting cells from oxidative damage.*
