Zinc Glycinate – Strong Immunity, Healthy Skin & Nails, Efficient Metabolism & Male Hormonal Balance

Zinc Glycinate, Now Foods, delivers zinc with high bioavailability in the form of TRAACS® chelated bisglycinate, a form known for superior absorption and good digestive tolerance. Each capsule provides 30 mg elemental zinc (273% NRV) derived from 150 mg zinc bisglycinate, complemented by 250 mg cold-pressed pumpkin seed oil. This combination targets immune support, skin, hair and nail health, energy metabolism, and hormonal functions, while also offering benefits for urinary comfort and organism resilience in the face of modern stressors.

Zinc glycinate (chelation with two glycine amino acids) forms a stable complex that efficiently crosses the intestinal mucosa, reducing unwanted interactions with dietary phytates and improving cellular utilization. Pumpkin seed oil, rich in fatty acids and natural phytosterols, adds extra support for prostate health, skin and mucosal barriers.

Detailed Benefits of Zinc Glycinate

• Immune Support and Defense Barriers

Zinc is a cofactor for numerous enzymes involved in innate and adaptive immune response, influencing lymphocyte maturation and epithelial integrity.

✅ Coherent and efficient immune response to daily challenges
✅ Robust mucosal barrier at respiratory and digestive levels
✅ Increased resilience during busy periods or seasonal changes

• Skin, Hair & Nails – Structure and Regeneration

Zinc contributes to protein synthesis, cell division, and healing processes, being essential for keratin and collagen quality.

✅ Even skin appearance with sustained regeneration capacity
✅ Hair with increased strength and stronger nails
✅ Skin comfort in contexts of oxidative stress and environmental factor exposure

• Energy and Enzymatic Metabolism

Over 300 enzymes depend on zinc for optimal activity, covering metabolic pathways for carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.
✅ Efficient conversion of nutrients into energy
✅ Support for exercise endurance and recovery
✅ Clarity and daily vitality through optimal cellular process functioning

• Male Hormonal Balance and Urinary Comfort

Zinc supports male reproductive function, while pumpkin seed oil complements the formulation through natural phytosterol content.

✅ Support for hormonal levels within normal parameters
✅ Support for sperm quality and motility
✅ Urinary comfort and prostate health support, especially useful after 40+

• Antioxidant Role and Cell Protection

Zinc participates in endogenous antioxidant defense, including through enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn-SOD), which limits free radical effects.

✅ Protection of cell membranes from oxidative stress
✅ Support for cellular longevity and tissue functions
✅ General comfort in environments with pollution, screens, and fast-paced lifestyle

• Cognitive Function, Attention & Mental Clarity

Zinc is involved in neuronal signaling and supporting synaptic plasticity.
✅ Concentration and clarity during periods with intense intellectual demands
✅ Sustained well-being through balancing neuronal processes
✅ Support for adapting to daily stress

• Support for Taste and Smell

Zinc is essential for the proper functioning of proteins involved in taste and olfactory perception.
✅ Support for sensory acuity
✅ Food comfort and taste enjoyment
✅ Quick integration into daily routine for maintaining quality of life

• Tissue Healing and Epithelial Integrity

Zinc is crucial for cell proliferation, DNA and collagen synthesis, intervening in key stages of tissue repair.
✅ Efficient tissue recovery after daily micro-stresses
✅ Integrity of mucous membranes and skin barrier
✅ Support for local skin comfort

• Thyroid Axis and Metabolism

Zinc contributes to normal thyroid gland function and thyroid hormone synthesis, aspects with direct impact on metabolic rate.

✅ Balanced metabolism and constant energy
✅ Support for thermal comfort and mood
✅ Compatible with modern routines with intellectual/physical effort

• Nutritional Synergy with Cold-Pressed Pumpkin Seed Oil

Pumpkin oil provides valuable fatty acids and phytosterols for skin, mucous membranes, and prostate health.
✅ Urinary comfort and support for men in mature period
✅ Skin barrier supported through quality lipid supply
✅ Natural integration into a zinc formula for complementary effects

• Enhanced Bioavailability with TRAACS® Bisglycinate

Chelation with glycine protects zinc from competition with other dietary ligands, facilitating transmembrane transport.
✅ Efficient intestinal absorption
✅ Superior digestive tolerance, suitable for long-term use
✅ Consistency in maintaining zinc status in active individuals

• Suitable for Athletes, Professionals & Active Lifestyle

Increased metabolic needs, abundant perspiration, and demanding effort periods can increase zinc requirements.
✅ Support for recovery and protein synthesis
✅ Resilience during dense training periods
✅ Immune system support during "peak season"

• Useful in Restrictive Diets or with Fluctuating Intake

Vegetarian/vegan diets, nutrition poor in zinc-rich sources, or presence of phytates can limit mineral availability.
✅ Nutritional anchor for maintaining optimal levels
✅ Versatile in modern dietary plans
✅ Easy-to-integrate supplement into daily routine
