Swanson Vitamins Zinc Picolinate 22 mg (60 capsules) contains zinc in the form of picolinate, where zinc is bound to picolinic acid. Zinc is a trace element that naturally occurs in small amounts in food. This supplement is intended for those who want to easily supplement a generous amount of zinc. The capsules are plant-based, compact, and easy to take.
Zinc picolinate is a form of zinc where the mineral is bound to picolinic acid. This chelated form is often chosen for its possible solubility and stability.
22 mg of zinc per day can often be used for a longer period as long as the total daily intake from all products (such as multivitamins) remains under 25 mg/day. Prolonged high intake of zinc can cause copper deficiency. If using for longer than a few months, it is wise to consult with a doctor.
Zinc picolinate is an organically bound form of zinc. Other forms, such as zinc oxide or zinc citrate, differ in absorbability, stability, or the amount of elemental zinc per milligram. Which form you choose depends on personal preference or tolerance.
Zinc is found in foods such as meat, shellfish, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains.
It is best to take zinc during or just after a meal. Taking it on an empty stomach can cause stomach discomfort in some people.
‘Elemental zinc’ refers to the actual amount of zinc available in the supplement, separate from the carrier (such as picolinic acid).
