Zinc Glycinate Liquid is a great-tasting mineral formula that provides zinc in the bioavailable form of zinc bisglycinate. Zinc is an important trace element in the body.¹ It plays a key role in maintaining immune health by stimulating the production of immune cells, regulating natural killer cell activity and mediating cytokine production.^1,2 Clinical research has demonstrated that daily supplementation with zinc helps to maintain immune function in adults and adolescents, as well as in the airways of children.^3,4 Zinc also has a long history of use in dermatological health.⁵ It helps to maintain immune function in the skin, while promoting collagen synthesis to help maintain skin structure.⁶ Additionally, zinc has a role in maintaining hair and nail health, and maintains bone health by regulating bone formation and resorption.^5,7-9 This mineral is also involved in a key buffer system that helps to maintain normal acid-base balance.⁹ Zinc Glycinate Liquid provides a bioavailable source of zinc to help meet daily zinc requirements. In one randomized crossover trial, zinc bisglycinate was demonstrated to have 43% higher bioavailability than zinc gluconate.¹⁰
