Thorne Research Zinc Picolinate
No one has time to be under the weather! Professionals need to work, moms and dads need energy for their kids, and retirees want to enjoy life to the fullest. No matter your season of life, Thorne Research Zinc Picolinate helps maintain healthy immune function so you can feel your best all year round!*
Immunity: Ready to bounce back from the sniffles? Try zinc! It helps maintain the body’s natural defenses and plays an important role in normal immune cell function.* Zinc is also involved with T-cells, which help regulate a healthy inflammatory response when your immune system is under stress.*
Hormones: Did you know that all of us — men and women — need testosterone? A zinc supplement like Thorne Research Zinc Picolinate helps our body produce and metabolize testosterone, aids with ovulation and fertilization, and plays a role in the release of reproductive hormones. Bonus: healthy testosterone levels are linked with lean muscle mass!*
Muscles: It’s important to maintain strength so you can live a full, active life, and Thorne Research Zinc Picolinate can help with that! Zinc contributes to healthy muscle mass, growth, and repair.*
Heart: Give your cardiovascular system a little daily love with zinc to help maintain healthy circulation, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels already within the normal range.*
Digestion: Essential vitamins and minerals, like zinc, help your body absorb the good stuff from your food. And because it plays a role in carbohydrate metabolism, it can help with healthy energy production from the inside out!*
Antioxidant: Although zinc is a mineral supplement, it helps maintain the body’s antioxidant defenses and supports a healthy oxidative balance, while also encouraging a healthy inflammatory response.*
Not all zinc supplements are created equal. Some forms of zinc are difficult for the body to absorb. But zinc picolinate is ultra absorbable so you can get everything this zinc supplement has to offer! Thorne Research Zinc Picolinate even lets you pick your potency: regular strength (15 mg) or double strength (30 mg).

FAQs About Thorne Research Zinc Picolinate
Q: Does zinc picolinate absorb better than regular zinc? A: Yes, that's a big reason people choose it. This one uses zinc picolinate, a form many people pick for absorption over some more basic zinc forms.
Q: How much should I take per day? A: For the 30 mg, take 1 capsule a day. For the 15 mg, take 1 capsule one to two times daily. I'd usually take it with food if zinc bothers your stomach.
Q: Why does this one mention copper? A: Because zinc can lower copper absorption if you take it long term. If you're taking 30 mg every day for a while, it's smart to make sure you're getting copper too, usually around a 15:1 zinc-to-copper ratio.
Q: Should I take zinc on an empty stomach? A: I'd usually say no. Some people are fine with it, but zinc can make you feel nauseous, so it's often easier to take it with a meal.
Q: Is this one vegan? A: Yeah, it should be. The capsule is hypromellose, which is cellulose-based, and the other inactive ingredients are microcrystalline cellulose, leucine, and silicon dioxide.
Q: My doctor said not to overdo zinc. Is 30 mg too much? A: Not necessarily, but 30 mg is on the higher side for daily use since it's 273% of the daily value. For lighter daily use, the 15 mg version is often enough unless your practitioner wants you higher.
Q: Are there any medication or safety concerns with this? A: Yes. Check with your doctor if you're pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or dealing with a health condition. And keep it out of reach of kids.
