Wissenswertes über "Zinc picolinate"

Zinc picolinate is an organic zinc compound in which zinc is bound to picolinic acid.

Zinc picolinate is characterised by its particularly high bioavailability, which allows the body to efficiently absorb and utilise the zinc it contains. Zinc tablets with zinc picolinate are therefore a popular choice to cover the daily zinc requirement and counteract a deficiency in a targeted manner.

The zinc effect in the body is diverse: the trace element strengthens the immune system, supports wound healing and is important for skin, hair and nails. Zinc also plays a key role in cell growth, hormone synthesis and the regulation of metabolism. In particular, zinc for colds is often recommended as it strengthens the body's defences and can shorten the duration of infections.

A zinc deficiency often manifests itself in symptoms such as tiredness, susceptibility to infections, hair loss or skin problems. In such cases, taking zinc tablets with zinc picolinate can help to replenish zinc levels quickly and effectively. It is important to observe the correct dosage, as a zinc overdose can cause side effects such as nausea, digestive problems or a disruption in copper absorption.

The daily zinc requirement varies depending on age, gender and individual needs, but is around 7-10 mg per day for adults according to the German Nutrition Society (DGE). Due to its high bioavailability, zinc picolinate is particularly suitable for people who want to specifically support their zinc balance without unnecessarily burdening the digestive tract.
