Zinc Picolinate 50 mg (120 Veggie Capsules) - Now Foods

Now Foods Zinc Picolinate 50 mg (120 veggie capsules) offers a highly absorbable form of zinc—an essential mineral that supports many normal bodily functions when taken within recommended intake levels. Zinc picolinate is a chelated compound where zinc is bound to picolinic acid, recognized for enhanced absorption compared to other forms like oxide or sulfate.

Why Choose Zinc Picolinate?

• Superior Bioavailability: Research and quality standards suggest zinc picolinate is better absorbed than zinc oxide or zinc gluconate, aiding optimal benefits.

• Supports a Wide Range of Normal Functions: While not allowing disease-specific claims, zinc contributes to normal immune function, macronutrient metabolism, DNA/RNA synthesis, and maintenance of normal skin, vision, and reproductive health when consumed as part of a balanced diet (EFSA-approved).

• Vegetarian-Friendly Formula: Housed in veggie capsules free from gelatin, dairy, gluten, and artificial colors.

• Ideal 50 mg Strength: Convenient single-ingredient supplement for individuals looking to support their daily moderate zinc intake.

• Large Count: 120 capsules—an economical 4-month supply at one capsule per day.

Health & Function Contributions

Within EU regulations, the following EFSA-approved health claims may apply:

• Zinc contributes to normal function of the immune system.

• Zinc contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism.

• Zinc contributes to normal cognitive function.

• Zinc contributes to normal fertility and reproduction.

• Zinc supports the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

• Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair, nails, and vision.

These claims highlight zinc’s role in maintaining normal body functions—and are intended to support health rather than treat or cure conditions. When paired with a balanced diet, this supplement helps complement nutrient needs, particularly in diets lower in zinc-rich foods like seafood, meat, seeds, and legumes.

Recommended Use

Take one (1) veggie capsule daily, preferably with food to aid absorption and minimize potential digestive discomfort. Do not exceed 50 mg per day unless advised by a healthcare practitioner.
