Zinc is essential for growth, immune system function, testosterone metabolism, as a cofactor for the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase, and for many other functions in the body. Zinc is involved in the functioning of over 200 enzymes and plays a key role in genetic expression, cell division, and growth.
Zinc deficiency has been associated with adverse impacts on a number of structures and functions of the body. Individuals susceptible to zinc deficiency include the elderly, the immuno-compromised, those on parenteral nutrition, and burn victims.
Picolinic acid is a natural mineral chelator produced in the body. It is produced from the amino acid tryptophan in the liver and kidneys and is transported to the pancreas. During digestion, it is secreted from the pancreas into the small intestine, where it binds to minerals to facilitate their absorption. Because picolinic acid facilitates the absorption of minerals, Zinc Picolinate is absorbed to a higher degree than is other zinc supplements.

Great Product
by RRJ -
Most people are lacking in Zinc. This Throne product is very good. It is apparently is doing it's job. I really like purchasing from THE PROFESSIONAL SUPPLEMENT CENTER. They are friendly, professional, fast, efficient, and offer only the best of products. Great prices, as well.

Helped to shorten my cold
by nhsgary -
I always used zinc lozenges when I got a cold and they greatly reduced the severity and length of the cold. After reading the latest research that zinc definitely works against colds, I decided to try this product. The real downside of the lozenges is that they negatively affect the sense of taste. I found that this product had no affect on my sense of taste and made my recent cold symptoms very minor.

Important Supplement!
by Beverlone -
Zinc is highly important in a balanced system. Since th4e use of Prednisone depletes zinc, it is important to add zinc to your daily supplements.

My go-to for zinc
by Bill
This product is my go-to for zinc supplementation. Have been using daily for several years. Zinc picolinate is a bioavailable source, unlike some other sources. Thorne does it again!
