NNT Zinc Bisglycinate Pro 60 Tablets SPECIAL OFFER

One NNT Zinc Bisglycinate Pro tablet contains 50 mg of zinc in the form of zinc bisglycinate.
The bioavailability of zinc bisglycinate is considered higher compared to zinc gluconate. Zinc bisglycinate is a chelated form in which zinc is bound to two glycine molecules. This binding to amino acids like glycine allows for more efficient absorption through the intestinal wall and better tolerability. Studies show that chelated forms like zinc bisglycinate generally offer better absorption than inorganic forms.
Zinc gluconate is often considered a "reasonable middle ground" among zinc forms. It has better bioavailability than inorganic compounds like sulfate or oxide, but does not quite reach the levels of chelated complexes like bisglycinate or histidine. The research on zinc gluconate absorption is mixed, with some studies showing solid absorption and others indicating significant variability depending on factors such as diet and gut health.

For optimal absorption of NNT Zinc Bisglycinate, it is recommended to take it between meals, ideally in the evening. Some approaches combine morning and evening intake to maintain stable zinc levels throughout the day. It is advisable not to take zinc on an empty stomach.

When taking zinc, interactions with other minerals should be considered. Zinc can impair the absorption of copper and iron, especially at high doses. There is evidence that zinc and magnesium can compete with each other, with excessive zinc potentially inhibiting magnesium absorption in the intestines; adjusting the dosage is advisable in such cases. Similarly, zinc can impair calcium absorption. Therefore, it is recommended not to take zinc and calcium at the same time. A time interval of at least two hours between taking zinc and other minerals such as iron, calcium, and magnesium is recommended to avoid interfering with their absorption.

The vegan tablet form of NNT Zinc Bisglycinate offers a crucial advantage for people with allergies or intolerances: maximum purity and tolerability, as it consistently avoids critical fillers and allergenic substances. The absence of gluten and lactose makes the product safe for people with celiac disease or lactose intolerance, preventing associated digestive problems or inflammatory reactions. Since it contains no artificial additives, the risk of adverse reactions to synthetic dyes, preservatives, or unnecessary anti-caking agents is eliminated. The purely plant-based composition also ensures the absence of hidden animal allergens, while the specific bisglycinate formulation maximizes bioavailability and is gentle on the stomach lining, allowing for unimpeded nutrient absorption, especially for sensitive individuals.

Long-term, high-dose zinc supplementation can lower copper levels because zinc impairs copper absorption in the intestines. To prevent secondary copper deficiency and resulting consequences such as anemia or weakened immunity, an additional intake of approximately 2 to 3 mg of copper per day is often recommended with long-term or high-dose zinc supplementation.
