Product Description: SupplementFoundationImmune StrengthGluten-FreeIf a super mineral exists, zinc would be a strong candidate. Zinc is an essential trace nutrient essential for over 200 enzymatic reactions and plays a critical role in growth, immune function, testosterone metabolism, and numerous other functions in the body. Clinical trials have shown that zinc supplements promote daily health and have beneficial effects on connective tissue as well as reproductive and eye health. If your body has trouble absorbing nutrients, you may not be able to reap the benefits of them. Thorne offers two highly absorbable forms of zinc: zinc picolinate and zinc bisglycinate. Zinc picolinate is zinc bound to the organic acid picolinic acid, which is naturally produced in the body from the amino acid L-tryptophan. Zinc bisglycinate is zinc bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine, creating a true amino acid chelate. Thorne's Line of Zinc Supplements Benefits: Zinc is necessary for the development and function of cells involved in the immune response. Zinc is needed by a specific group of white blood cells (called T-lymphocytes (T-cells)) that regulate the body's inflammatory response during periods of immune stress. It is essential for activating the antioxidant properties of zinc. Research shows that zinc's antioxidant-promoting properties help alleviate oxidative stress, which can damage cells and tissues and lead to several chronic diseases. Zinc promotes healthy skin and eyes. Zinc supports normal production of testosterone, a hormone essential for building lean muscle mass in the body.
