Zinc is an essential mineral, which means it’s essential to overall health! One of the most well-known benefits of a zinc supplement is its important role in immune health. Zinc activates specific white blood cells that play a role in a healthy inflammatory response when the immune system is working hard. The bottom line: zinc supports healthy immune function so you can stay in the game all year long.*
Beyond immunity, zinc contributes to strong connective tissues, healthy eyes, balanced reproductive health, and more than 200 other enzyme reactions! And since you’re an athlete, it’s worth noting that zinc picolinate helps with the production and metabolism of testosterone, which plays a role in lean muscle mass.*
Thorne Research Zinc Picolinate 30mg NSF Certified for Sport should win an award for its absorbability! The beauty of zinc picolinate is that it’s one of the most absorbable forms of this mineral, and it’s naturally made within our bodies from the amino acid L-tryptophan.*
It should also rank on the podium because it’s free and clear of more than 200 substances that are commonly banned by major athletic associations. Whew, if that’s not one of the best zinc supplements for athletes, then we don’t know what is!

FAQs About Thorne Research Zinc Picolinate 30mg NSF Certified for Sport Capsules
Q: How much zinc do you get in each capsule? A: Each capsule has 30 mg of zinc as zinc picolinate. A lot of people choose that form because it tends to absorb well.
Q: Should I take this with food or on an empty stomach? A: I'd take one capsule a day with food. It's usually easier on the stomach. Zinc can make some people feel a little nauseous if they take it on an empty stomach.
Q: Does zinc picolinate help with immune health? A: Yes. That's one of the main reasons people take it. Zinc supports normal immune function, and some athletes like this one because it's NSF Certified for Sport.
Q: My doctor said too much zinc can affect copper. Is that true? A: Yes. Taking zinc long term can lower copper absorption, and Thorne recommends keeping zinc and copper at about a 15:1 ratio if you're taking zinc regularly for a while.
Q: Is this one vegan or vegetarian? A: Yes, it should be vegetarian. The capsule is made with hypromellose, which is cellulose-based, not gelatin.
Q: Does it interact with any medications? A: It can. Zinc may affect how some antibiotics and other medications are absorbed, so I'd take it a few hours apart and check with your pharmacist if you're on any prescription meds.
Q: Can I take this if I'm pregnant or nursing? A: I'd check with your OB or midwife before starting it. Same if you have a medical condition or take medications regularly.
