Zinc is one of the trace minerals that our body requires to maintain optimal health.
Zinc picolinate is Zinc bound to the picolinic acid that our body can more easily absorb than other forms of Zinc.
Taking quercetin with zinc improves zinc’s antiviral capacity. Quercetin acts as an ionophore and carries zinc ions across numerous lipid barriers.

Absorption of Zinc in your body is a complex process that involves the Zinc passing through your intestinal membranes, into your blood stream and into your individual cells. Your body also requires Zinc as a primary component to support metabolism in your body.
In a study designed to measure the comparative absorption rates of different forms of Zinc, scientists measured Zinc levels in test subjects, hair, skin and urine since these areas contain the largest concentrations of Zinc in the human body.
A study (www.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3630857) showed that Zinc Picolinate had better absorption in test subjects than either Zinc Citrate or Zinc Gluconate.
Infact after a four week period the study found a significant increase in Zinc levels in the group that used the Zinc Picolinate supplement, compared to no significant change in the Zinc levels for the test subjects receiving the Zinc Citrate, Zinc Gluconate or a placebo supplement.
Ionic form is bioavailable as one of the best form for absorption.
