Healthy immune function, normal testosterone levels and healthy-looking skin, from a clean, well-absorbed zinc.
- Immune function. Zinc is essential for the development and work of immune cells.
- Normal testosterone levels and reproductive health.
- Healthy-looking skin. Zinc takes part in collagen making and skin renewal.
- Normal cognitive function and antioxidant support. Zinc is part of superoxide dismutase, one of your cells' own antioxidant enzymes.
- Well absorbed and gentle. In a head-to-head study, zinc bisglycinate gave higher blood zinc than zinc gluconate.
Why it fits bioenergetic, low-toxin living. Zinc takes part in hundreds of enzymes, including those behind hormone production and energy metabolism. This form pairs zinc with glycine, and the powder is a single USP-grade ingredient with no fillers or additives.
Available in 50 g and 250 g, scoop included. 60-day no hassle returns.

Start low: about half a level .15cc scoop (roughly 75 mg, about 15 mg of zinc) a day, with food.
Raise slowly: after a week or two, go up to 1 level scoop (150 mg, 30 mg of zinc) a day, or as directed by your healthcare professional.
If it feels like too much (nausea, especially on an empty stomach), take it with a meal or go back to the smaller amount.
Weigh it on a precision digital scale for accuracy. Long-term high zinc intake can lower copper, so count all your zinc sources.

Bisglycinate vs gluconate
Gandia P, Bour D, Maurette JM, et al. (2007). A bioavailability study comparing two oral formulations containing zinc (Zn bis-glycinate vs. Zn gluconate) after a single administration to twelve healthy female volunteers. Int J Vitam Nutr Res 77(4):243-8. PMID 18271278. Zinc bisglycinate gave higher blood zinc levels than zinc gluconate.

Bioenergetic & low-toxin perspective
Ray Peat noted zinc among the trace minerals that early experimental diets left out.
"Several of the B vitamins weren't known at the time, and the mineral mixture lacked zinc, copper, manganese, molybdenum, and selenium." — Ray Peat (https://raypeat.com/articles/articles/sugar-issues.shtml)
A study Peat cited in that article, on how sugar and starch affect zinc and other minerals:
Holbrook JT, Smith JC Jr, Reiser S (1989). Dietary fructose or starch: effects on copper, zinc, iron, manganese, calcium, and magnesium balances in humans. Am J Clin Nutr 49(6):1290-4. PMID 2729168.

Consult your healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or have a medical condition. Long-term high-dose zinc intake may interfere with copper absorption. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use if the bag is damaged, punctured, or the seal is broken.
Store in a cool, dark, dry place. Keep tightly closed. Protect from heat.
