Description
Zinc picolinate is a zinc salt formed with picolinic acid, a natural chelator. It is promoted as a highly bioavailable form of zinc, an essential mineral involved in numerous biological processes, including immune function, wound healing, protein synthesis, and DNA synthesis. It's used to prevent or treat zinc deficiency, which can lead to impaired immune function, slow wound healing, and other health problems. While generally considered safe at recommended dosages, high doses can cause gastrointestinal upset and potentially interfere with the absorption of other minerals like copper. Individuals should consult with a healthcare professional before taking zinc supplements, especially if they have pre-existing health conditions or are taking other medications.
