The Unsung Hero of Immunity and Beyond!
Zinc is crucial for bolstering our immune defenses, supporting cell growth and DNA synthesis, and ensuring proper wound healing and sensory functions.
The Importance of Zinc
Zinc is an essential trace mineral that plays a vital role in numerous biological processes in the human body. It is essential for immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and cell division. It also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood, and adolescence, and is required for proper sense of taste and smell.
Since Zinc cannot be stored by the body, getting enough from the diet can be difficult. Taking Zinc as a dietary supplement is an excellent idea and our Zinc is one of the most bioavailable forms of zinc. Zinc Picolinate is one of several forms of zinc that can be ingested as a supplement. The term “picolinate” refers to picolinic acid, which is a natural acid found in the body. Zinc picolinate is considered to be a more absorbable form of zinc, meaning the body takes in and use more zinc from zinc picolinate than from other forms.

What People Are Saying
While having several important functions, Zinc is most commonly known as a wound healing mineral, used frequently after surgery or serious infections. Zinc plays a role in DNA synthesis, which is the main function of it’s wound and skin healing ability.
Supplementing with Zinc has also been shown in several key studies to in reducing the incidence and severity of colds and other infections. Studies indicate that Zinc promotes the increase of T lymphocyte production and enhances other white blood cell functions.
Zinc deficiency is more wide spread than previously thought, making this supplement a vital tool for day to day needs. Zinc picolinate, is a chelated form of this trace mineral which enhances and increases the absorption.
The Type of Zinc You Choose Is Important!
If the body has trouble absorbing a nutrient, then it can’t obtain the nutrient’s benefits.
Research shows that zinc picolinate is better absorbed than zinc citrate or zinc gluconate. Zinc Picolinate is zinc that is bound to the organic acid picolinic acid, which is naturally made in the body from the amino acid L-Tryptophan. Picolinic acid is a natural chelator that is produced as a byproduct of tryptophan in the body and helps to facilitate the mineral’s absorption.
When choosing a form of zinc that your body will absorb, choose Pure Prescriptions Zinc Picolinate in a maximum strength 30 mg capsule.
Adults take as a dietary supplement, 2 capsules per day, with food or as directed by your healthcare provider.
