Our zinc is formulated with amino acid glycine (the same as our Magnesium Glycinate supplement)
Zinc is originally mined from the earth where it undergoes a series of extraction steps to bring it to pure zinc.
Then, the zinc is bound / chelated to another compound, which in our case is glycine, to create a form that is stable & easily absorbed (you'll never find pure zinc in a supplement, as this would cause too much stomach distress).
Depending on what the zinc is bound to, impacts how much zinc is available for absorption. Where zinc oxide has the lowest absorption & zinc glycinate is one of the best absorbed.
