Zinc Picolinate 15mg 100 Vegecaps

Essential in over 300 enzymatic reactions, Zinc plays an important role in immune health.[i]
Zinc supplementation has been shown in numerous studies to activate T-cells (white blood cells crucial for immune function), moderate the inflammatory response and decrease oxidative stress.[ii], [iii], [iv]
Zinc is also necessary for reactions involving metabolism, digestion,[v] skin health[vi], and both physical and cognitive growth and development[vii], just to name a few.
Zinc Picolinate is a highly absorbable form of zinc, ready to provide our bodies with all the protection and benefits it can offer.
Health Thru Nutrition offers a clean label Zinc Picolinate that is Non-GMO, Soy Free, and like all HTN’s supplements, manufactured in a cGMP facility.
