It is a straightforward formula that is entirely focused on zinc, with a short list of ingredients. One bottle contains 120 vegan capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat zinc is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc is a trace element: a mineral that your body needs in small amounts and cannot produce itself. It can be found in foods such as meat, shellfish, nuts, seeds, and whole grains; oysters are considered one of the richest sources. Zinc is involved in a large number of enzymes and processes in the body, including the immune system, skin, and hair. Because no large stores are made, regular intake through food is important, and some people choose a supplement. In this product, zinc is bound to picolinic acid, which is called zinc picolinate; it is a form often chosen by people who specifically opt for picolinate. Ultimately, what matters is the amount of elemental zinc, which is clearly stated on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat zinc contributes to\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. Zinc also contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair, and nails, and to the normal metabolism of carbohydrates and fatty acids. In addition, zinc contributes to normal acid-base metabolism, normal fertility and reproduction, and the maintenance of normal bones. Zinc is therefore involved in a wide range of processes. The full list of approved health claims for zinc can be found further down on this page. This makes zinc picolinate a targeted choice for those who want to supplement with zinc in capsule form without a broad mineral blend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan capsule with a short list of ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsules are plant-based, with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as the shell, supplemented only with rice flour, stearic acid from a plant source, and silica. This keeps the list of ingredients short and transparent. Because the shell is plant-based, this product is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. Since this is a product with 50 mg of zinc per capsule, it includes a clear safety statement, which can be found further down on this page and on the label, including information about long-term use in relation to copper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e120 capsules per bottle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne bottle contains 120 capsules, a generous supply for those who want to supplement with zinc in capsule form for an extended period. With a fixed amount per capsule, you can easily keep track of your zinc intake and know exactly what you are taking with each dose. It is a simple product, entirely focused on zinc, without any other vitamins or minerals. The plant-based capsule form makes it taste-neutral and easy to take. In short: a clear, vegan zinc picolinate from a brand known for clear labels and controlled production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50716033909074,"sku":"Now-033","price":16.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/ZincPicolinaat250tablettenNOWFoods.jpg?v=1782121631","url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/products\/zink-picolinaat-50-mg-120-capsules-now-foods","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
