A Dependable Daily Zinc in a Well-Absorbed Form
Zinc is a trace mineral the body uses all day long, in more places than most people realize. Pure Encapsulations notes that zinc "is a constituent of over two dozen enzymes involved in digestion and metabolism" and describes Zinc 30 as "highly absorbable zinc."*
Who I Reach For This With
- Patients who need a measured, once-a-day zinc rather than a multivitamin amount
- People I am building a foundation plan around, where the mineral picture is part of the work
- Anyone who wants a vegan capsule free of the usual fillers
- Patients who do better with a simple once-daily routine taken with a meal
What Makes This Form Different
- 30 mg of zinc, as zinc picolinate, per size 3 vegetarian capsule
- Pure Encapsulations calls it “highly absorbable zinc”*
- Made with “high-quality vegan ingredients backed by verifiable science”; hypoallergenic plant fiber from pine cellulose; gluten free, GMO free, and free from wheat, soy, dairy, eggs, and artificial colors and sweeteners
What Pure Encapsulations Says It Supports*
- Supports "the body's natural defense system"*
- Promotes "collagen formation and healthy tissue development"*
- Provides "support for reproductive health"*
- Supports "enzymatic digestion and metabolism"*
How It Fits Into a Protocol
Zinc 30 is a single-mineral piece, so I look at it next to the rest of the plan. If a patient is already on a multivitamin such as the O.N.E. Multivitamin, count the zinc in it before adding more. For longer-term use, I also look at the wider mineral picture, with Pure Encapsulations Copper (Citrate) and Trace Minerals as the usual companions to consider.
Frequently Asked Questions
When do I take it?
With a meal, once a day, as Pure Encapsulations directs. Taking it with food is usually easier on the stomach.
Do I need copper with it?
That is a question for your practitioner, especially if zinc is going to be part of your plan for a long stretch. I look at the whole mineral picture rather than one mineral alone.
Which bottle size should I get?
The capsule is the same. The 60-count suits a trial or short plan, and the 180-count suits a longer plan.
