Product Overview
Solgar Zinc Picolinate 22mg Tablets deliver zinc in the picolinate form, a chelated zinc compound in which zinc is bound to picolinic acid, a naturally occurring substance derived from the amino acid tryptophan. Zinc picolinate is widely regarded as one of the most bioavailable forms of supplemental zinc, as the picolinate ligand facilitates efficient transport of zinc across the intestinal wall. Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in over 300 enzymatic reactions throughout the body. It is fundamental to immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and cell division. Each tablet provides 22mg of elemental zinc, supporting daily requirements for adults. Zinc also contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, skin, hair, and nails, and plays a role in normal reproductive function. As a trace mineral critical to normal immune cell development and function, zinc is an important nutrient for maintaining robust immunity year-round. Solgar's commitment to quality ensures these tablets are free from artificial additives and are produced to stringent pharmaceutical standards.

## How to Use
For adults, take one tablet daily with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Taking zinc picolinate with food reduces the likelihood of nausea, which can occur when zinc is taken on an empty stomach. Avoid taking zinc at the same time as iron or calcium supplements, as these minerals may compete for absorption. Store in a cool, dry place.
