Zinc bisglycinate is a form in which one zinc molecule is bound to two glycine molecules. This bond forms what is known as an amino acid chelate.
Albion® is a brand name for minerals, known for chelated minerals such as zinc bisglycinate. The active ingredient is zinc, and Albion refers to the specific chelate form/supplier technology.
Zinc bisglycinate is often described as a well-absorbed form of zinc, as it is bound to an amino acid rather than a simple salt compound.
30 mg zinc is a high dosage. Therefore, it is only suitable for a short period, for example, a few weeks to months, unless otherwise advised. Long-term high intake of zinc can reduce the absorption of copper in the intestines.
Glycine is a non-essential amino acid found in protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, and gelatin. In supplements, glycine is often used to bind minerals, creating a chelate compound.
Zinc is found in foods such as meat, fish, crustaceans and shellfish, nuts, seeds, and whole grain products.
