Douglas Laboratories Zinc Picolinate
Zinc is one of the most abundant trace minerals in the body—which only goes to show how essential it is to your overall health and wellness!
There are several forms of Zinc you can take as a supplement. Research shows that zinc picolinate is optimally absorbable. Or said another way — it’s a great option! This is exactly why Douglas Laboratories formulated Zinc Picolinate—so your body is able to make the most of this wellness-focused zinc supplement.
Zinc plays a big role in reproductive health for both men and women. Zinc is essential for sperm maturation, ovulation, and fertilization. The whole shebang! In women, zinc helps with egg creation and viability.* In men, zinc promotes healthy sperm and the fertilization process.*
And, did we mention, zinc also supports women’s wellness during the menstrual cycle*? Pass the zinc picolinate, please!
Your skin loves zinc, as well! While it may not be the first mineral that comes to mind when you think about skin support, it serves several functions that benefit the skin:
It provides antioxidant support to help protect against free radicals.* Free radicals are harmful to the body and can cause oxidative stress (aka aging). Lots of stress can show up on your skin in visible ways like wrinkles, age spots, and more. Zinc helps with oxidative balance and healthy-looking skin as the years roll on.*
Zinc supports healthy skin integrity and the body’s natural skin-repair process.* When you have a cut, sore, or other abrasions, zinc plays a role in your skin’s natural repair response.* No one loves having scabs, but they’re an essential part of the process! Zinc helps make those ‘natural band-aids.'
No one likes breakouts. Period. Whether you’re prone to full-blown flare-ups or the occasional red spot, Zinc can be helpful. It supports clear, healthy-looking skin.*
Zinc makes a great addition to your wellness routine—for overall health and wellness. Additional supplements you should consider include: Lively Vitamin Co. Magnesium Ease for a daily dose of heart-supportive Magnesium and Lively Vitamin Co. Solar Power Vitamin D Supplement for mood support and immune health.*

FAQs About Douglas Laboratories Zinc Picolinate Capsules
Q: Does zinc picolinate absorb better than regular zinc? A: Yes. Zinc picolinate is generally considered easier to absorb than some other forms, which is why people often choose it.
Q: How much should I take per day? A: One capsule a day. Each capsule has 50 mg of zinc, and I'd take it with food unless your practitioner told you otherwise.
Q: Should I take this on an empty stomach? A: I'd skip that if you're sensitive. Zinc can make some people feel a little nauseous, and food usually helps.
Q: I've heard too much zinc can be a problem. Is 50 mg a high dose? A: Yes, 50 mg is on the high side for a daily zinc supplement. That's fine for some people short term, but I wouldn't stay on that dose long term unless your doctor recommended it, since higher zinc can affect copper levels over time.
Q: Does this help with skin and immune health? A: It can. People often take zinc to support immune health and help maintain healthy skin.*
Q: My doctor said to watch supplement interactions. Does zinc interact with anything? A: Yes, it can. Zinc can interfere with certain antibiotics and with minerals like iron and copper, so if you're on meds, check with your pharmacist about timing.
Q: Is this one vegetarian or free of common allergens? A: Not vegetarian, since the capsule is gelatin. It’s free of wheat, gluten, soy, dairy, corn, sugar, starch, artificial colors, preservatives, and flavoring.
