Zinc Picolinate

There is evidence that the average American diet is inadequate in zinc. High zinc foods are liver, beef, lamb, cheese, yeasts, oysters, herring, sunflower seeds, wheat germ & bran. High aluminum, cadmium, & copper levels, or chronic diarrhea may contribute to decreased zinc levels.*

Zinc is essential for normal growth & development & life span. Its primary mode of action is by participating in over twenty key enzyme reactions in your body.

Zinc is best absorbed as a chelated complex.

Some of the functions of zinc are:
