Zinc is a mineral co-factor in hundreds of enzymatic reactions related to protein and carbohydrate metabolism, RNA/DNA synthesis and intercellular signaling. Zinc is essential to the normal function of many organs and systems within the body; supporting healthy immune, skeletal, neurological, and endocrine functions. Dietary bioavailability of zinc is relatively poor, so NOW® Zinc Glycinate (also known as Bisglycinate) is chelated to improve absorption and bioavailability. NOW uniquely offers Zinc Glycinate in a softgel capsule with Pumpkin Seed Oil as a healthy synergist.
Each softgel contains:
Zinc (from Zinc Glycinate)(Amino Acid Chelate)(TRAACS®)(Albion®) 30 mg
Non-Medicinal Ingredients: Pumpkin Seed Oil (250 mg), Softgel (gelatin, glycerin, water, carob extract), Beeswax, Soy Lecithin.
Albion® and TRAACS® (The Real Amino Acid Chelate System) are registered trademarks of Albion Laboratories, Inc.
Adult Dosage: Take 1 softgel daily with meals. Take a few hours before or after taking other medications.
