If there was a super mineral, then zinc would be a contender. Zinc is an essential micronutrient that is crucial to more than 200 enzymatic reactions and plays a key role in growth, immune function, testosterone metabolism, and numerous other functions in your body.*
Clinical studies demonstrate zinc supplementation can increase general wellness, and that it has a beneficial impact on connective tissue, as well as reproductive and eye health.*
If the body has trouble absorbing a nutrient, then it can't obtain the nutrients benefits. Thorne offers two highly absorbable forms of zinc: Zinc Picolinate and Zinc Bisglycinate. 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. Zinc Bisglycinate is zinc that is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine creating a true amino acid chelate.
Benefits of Thornes Zinc supplement suite:
- Zinc is necessary for the development and function of the cells related to our immune response.*
- Essential for activation of a certain group of white blood cells called T-lymphocytes (T-cells) that moderate the bodys inflammatory response during times of immune stress.*
- Studies have found that the antioxidant-promoting properties of zinc 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.*
