Swanson Zinc Picolinate 22 mg, 60 Vegan Capsules

22 mg zinc per capsule | 60 vegan capsules | One a day with food | Halal, gluten free, non-GMO

Zinc is an essential mineral: it contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to normal protein synthesis, to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails, and to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood. Swanson uses zinc picolinate, a form bound to picolinic acid that is well absorbed.

Who tends to be low

• People who eat little red meat or seafood, including vegetarians and vegans
• Athletes who sweat heavily — zinc is lost in sweat, which matters in UAE training conditions
• Anyone on a restrictive diet or calorie deficit

How to take it

Take one vegan capsule a day with food and water. Taking zinc on an empty stomach can cause nausea.

Don't overdo it

More zinc is not better. Long-term intake above around 25 mg a day from supplements can lower your copper levels. One capsule a day is enough; if you already take a multivitamin or ZMA, check how much zinc it contains first.

Other ingredients

Microcrystalline cellulose (plant fibre), vegan capsule (hypromellose), magnesium stearate, silica.
