What is the difference between zinc bisglycinate and other forms of zinc?

With zinc bisglycinate, the zinc is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine (a so-called amino acid chelate). This form is considered particularly easy to tolerate and gentle on the stomach and is known for its good bioavailability. Forms such as zinc sulphate or zinc gluconate also provide zinc, but are sometimes perceived as less gentle on the stomach.

When and how is it best to take zinc?

Take 1 capsule daily with sufficient liquid, ideally alongside a meal. Stick to the recommended daily intake and do not exceed it.

Does zinc fit into my collagen or beauty routine?

Yes. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails. It is therefore a sensible addition to a beauty-from-within routine. It combines well with Kollagen Pure Peptides and a vitamin C source.

Can I take zinc on a long-term basis?

Zinc is an essential trace element. Stick to the recommended daily intake. A persistently high intake can affect copper balance - if in doubt, seek medical advice.

What should I bear in mind when combining it with other minerals?

Zinc, iron and copper partly compete for the same absorption pathways. If you take several minerals at high doses, taking them at different times can be advisable.

Description

Product description

Zinc Pure Bisglycinate provides the essential trace element zinc in the form of zinc bisglycinate - an amino acid chelate in which zinc is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. Zinc is involved in numerous metabolic processes and is a classic beauty-from-within mineral. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails.

Ingredients & bioavailability

The special feature lies in the type of binding. As an amino acid chelate, the zinc is bound to glycine - a small amino acid produced by the body itself. Chelated minerals such as bisglycinate are known for their good tolerability and bioavailability and are often perceived as gentler on the stomach than inorganic salts (e.g. zinc sulphate). This makes zinc bisglycinate a pleasant choice for daily, long-term use.

Quality & safety

Every batch is tested in independent German laboratories for heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury) and microbial contamination. Production takes place to GMP standards in Germany. The capsule shell is made of plant-based cellulose - vegan and free from flavourings, sweeteners and colourings.

Use & combination

One capsule daily with a little liquid alongside a meal. Zinc is a sensible addition to a beauty-from-within routine and combines well with our Kollagen Pure Peptides and a vitamin C source. Note: zinc, iron and copper partly compete for the same absorption pathways - with high-dose multiple supplementation, taking them at different times is advisable.
