If there was a super mineral, then zinc would be a contender. Zinc is an essential micronutrient that is crucial to more than 200 enzymatic reactions and plays a key role in growth, immune function, testosterone metabolism, and numerous other functions in your body.*
Clinical studies demonstrate zinc supplementation can increase general wellness, and that it has a beneficial impact on connective tissue, as well as reproductive and eye health.*
If the body has trouble absorbing a nutrient, then it can't obtain the nutrient’s benefits. 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 – creating a true amino acid chelate.
Benefits of Thorne’s Zinc supplement suite:
- Zinc is necessary for the development and function of the cells related to our immune response*
- Essential for activation of a certain group of white blood cells – called T-lymphocytes (T-cells) – that moderate the body’s inflammatory response during times of immune stress*
- Studies have found that the antioxidant-promoting properties of zinc help mitigate oxidative stress – a process that damages cells and tissues and can lead to several chronic health conditions*
- Promotes healthy skin and eyes*
- Needed to support the body's normal production of testosterone, a hormone essential for promoting lean muscle mass*
Suggested use: Take 1 capsule daily or as recommended by your health-care practitioner.
Other ingredients: Microcrystalline cellulose, hypromellose (derived from cellulose) capsule, leucine, silicon dioxide.

What is Thorne Zinc Picolinate?
It's a zinc supplement providing 30 mg of zinc per capsule, bound to picolinic acid to form zinc picolinate, a form chosen for its absorbability.
What does zinc do in the body?
Zinc is an essential trace mineral involved in immune function, antioxidant activity, and healthy skin, connective tissue, eye, nerve, and reproductive health. It also supports the body's normal testosterone production, which plays a role in supporting lean muscle mass.
Why is it bound to picolinic acid specifically?
Picolinic acid is a natural mineral chelator the body produces from the amino acid tryptophan, in the liver and kidneys. During digestion, it's secreted into the small intestine, where it binds to minerals like zinc to help facilitate their absorption.
Why 30 mg rather than a lower dose like 15 mg?
This is Thorne's higher potency zinc option, sometimes described as a double strength dose compared to their 15 mg Zinc Bisglycinate product, intended for situations where more robust daily zinc support is needed.
What's the suggested dose?
Most sources list 1 capsule daily, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. One source lists a more concentrated protocol of 1 capsule three times daily away from food, so it's worth confirming which suggested use appears on your specific bottle.
Who might use this product?
Adults wanting a higher potency zinc option for immune, skin, eye, or reproductive health support, particularly those who may need more than a standard maintenance dose.
Are there any precautions or drug interactions?
Zinc can inhibit the absorption of copper, so for long-term supplementation, it's recommended to maintain a zinc to copper ratio of about 15 to 1. This product shouldn't be used by anyone with a known hypersensitivity to its ingredients. If pregnant or nursing, consult a healthcare professional before use. If taking medication or managing a medical condition, it's also worth checking with a healthcare provider first.
Is it third-party tested or certified?
Yes, it's NSF Contents Certified.
Is it free of common allergens?
Yes, it's free of gluten and egg, and non-GMO.
How should it be stored?
Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, and use only if the tamper evident seal is intact. Keep out of reach of children.
