What is it?
Zinc picolinate is a highly bioavailable form of the essential trace mineral zinc, chelated with picolinic acid for superior absorption. Zinc plays critical roles in immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, hormone production, and cell division. Athletes lose zinc through sweat and have higher requirements than sedentary individuals.
Why use it?
Zinc deficiency is surprisingly common, particularly among athletes and those following restricted diets. Even mild deficiency can impair immune function, reduce testosterone production, slow recovery, and affect skin health. The picolinate form ensures efficient absorption so that even the small amounts used in blends deliver meaningful benefit.
How it works
Picolinic acid is a natural chelator produced in the body during tryptophan metabolism. It binds zinc in a form that is readily absorbed across the intestinal wall. Once in the bloodstream, zinc acts as a cofactor for over 300 enzymes and is essential for DNA synthesis, protein metabolism, immune cell function, and the production of testosterone and growth hormone.
How to use
Add ~100mg (0.1g) to your shake, smoothie, or beverage of choice. Mix well.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much zinc do I need?

The recommended daily intake is 9.5mg for men and 7mg for women. Athletes may benefit from slightly higher intakes of 15–30mg. Our serving is calibrated to provide an appropriate daily amount within your blend.

Can I take too much zinc?

Yes. Excessive zinc (over 40mg/day long-term) can interfere with copper absorption and cause nausea. Our serving sizes are formulated to stay within safe, effective ranges.

Should I take zinc with food?

Zinc picolinate can be taken with or without food. However, avoid taking it simultaneously with high-calcium or high-iron supplements, as these minerals compete for absorption.
