Thorne Zinc Picolinate

Thorne offers two highly absorbable forms of zinc, Zinc Picolinate and Zinc Bisglycinate.

Zinc Picolinate is zinc that is bound to the organic acid picolinic acid, which is naturally made in the body from the amino acid L-Tryptophan. Zinc Bisglycinate is zinc that is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine.
