• Recent ClinicalTrials: Thinking Zinc: a Study of Zinc Supplements on the Navajo Nation
• Description: Zinc picolinate is an organic zinc supplement wherein zinc atom is attached to a picolinic acid molecule. Studies have also suggested that zinc supplements may reduce the incidence of respiratory infections in children. A number of zinc supplements are available, including zinc acetate, zinc gluconate, zinc picolinate, and zinc sulfate. Zinc picolinate is a highly available form of zinc supplement, easily dissolved to release the elemental zinc for use in the body. Surprisingly, although Zinc picolinate is widely used as a supplement with greater bioavailability claims, there are very few scientific studies to back this claim.
• Uses: Zinc Picolinate has pharmacological activity as it reduced tumor growth, tumor diameter in oviduct of Coturnix japonica. zinc picolinate is also a valuable source of absorbable zinc for use as a therapeutical agent against acne vulgaris, stasis ulcers and acrodermatis enteropathica.
