Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Why choose Zinc Picolinate over other forms of zinc?
Picolinic acid is naturally produced in the body from the amino acid tryptophan to help facilitate intestinal mineral absorption. Binding zinc to picolinic acid creates a highly bioavailable complex that clinical studies show absorbs better than citrate or gluconate forms.
What is the difference between Thorne Zinc Picolinate and Zinc Bisglycinate?
Both forms exhibit superior absorption compared to oxide, citrate, and gluconate forms. While zinc bisglycinate has data showing higher absorption rates, zinc picolinate has a significantly longer history of supplement use and a larger body of clinical research.
Should I take this supplement with food?
Yes, taking zinc with a meal is recommended to prevent potential stomach discomfort and promote optimal absorption.
