High Absorption Zinc Complex has been expertly formulated with chelated and fully reacted mineral forms to boost levels 40% higher than standard supplements. Essential for a whole range of bodily functions, zinc in the body is in constant demand and needs to be replenished daily. However, dietary antinutrients (oxalates & phytates), competition with other minerals and low stomach acid levels can all reduce zinc absorption capacity.

We use chelated forms in High Absorption Zinc Complex which are not reliant on optimal pH levels. By combining zinc picolinate with zinc bisglycinate, multiple uptake pathways are utilised, maximising absorption from supplement to cell. These gentle forms are well-tolerated without the unwanted side effects associated with standard zinc supplements (especially nausea). Balanced with copper for safe, long-term use, simply take one tablet daily with food.

High absorption formula

Required for a whole range of physiological functions, zinc in the body is in constant demand and needs to be replenished daily to maintain optimal zinc status. Dietary sources of zinc often contain multiple minerals, all of which compete for absorption via saturable uptake pathways. Providing two chelated and fully reacted forms of zinc targets multiple uptake pathways. Zinc bisglycinate & picolinate elevate levels far more efficiently than standard zinc supplements.

Chelated zinc picolinate & bisglycinate

Dietary inhibitors, including phytates and oxalates (found in high amounts in whole grains, leafy greens, seeds, and legumes) can bind to zinc, preventing absorption. We use fully reacted zinc picolinate which provides zinc with picolinic acid, the body's natural mineral chelator, to prevent zinc from binding with dietary antinutrients. Zinc bisglycinate provides zinc in an amino acid complex with glycine, a well-tolerated chelate that bypasses the usual route of zinc absorption and instead targets amino acid transporters in the gut. This prevents competition for mineral absorption and provides superior absorption.

Balanced with copper

Not only do zinc and copper compete for absorption in the body, especially when sourced from food, but the body also works hard to regulate blood levels within a tight range. During illness, the body may up-regulate levels of one mineral over the other due to increased demand. With both minerals essential for supporting immune function and antioxidant defence systems, it is important to maintain nutritional balance for long-term health. While some supplement forms of zinc and copper compete for absorption in the body, the bisglycinate forms we use are both absorbed intact.

Immune & cellular health

Zinc is essential for the development and function of cells that mediate both innate and adaptive/acquired immune responses, with a deficiency often synonymous with poor immune function and linked to 16% of all deep respiratory infections worldwide (WHO 2003). The benefits of zinc in immune function are related to its role in cellular functions including DNA replication, RNA transcription, and cell division and activation. Copper also supports immune function and is added to this formula to maintain mineral homeostasis for safe, long-term use. Together, zinc and copper also offer protection against oxidative stress.

Skin, hair, nails & eye health

Essential for skin health and wound healing, a meta-analysis has shown that those with acne have significantly lower serum zinc levels in comparison to controls, with zinc treatment significantly improving symptoms. Zinc supports the maintenance of normal skin, hair, nails, and vision, with sub-optimal zinc levels being associated with skin conditions, hair loss, and poor vision.

Fertility and hormones

Zinc plays many roles in supporting hormone and fertility health, for both men and women. In both genders, zinc is required to support the production of oestrogen and progesterone and converts testosterone into its biologically active form, 5α-dihydrotestosterone. Zinc is also essential for the production and regulation of thyroid hormones. For women, zinc supports egg-cell quality, ovulation, and fertilisation, with zinc requirements increased during pregnancy. For men, zinc supports prostate health and sex cell quality in terms of production, release, and mobility.

I was advised by a clinician that I would benefit from taking a quality zinc supplement as I am recovering from burnout and although it is early days as yet I have every confidence that these will be of benefit to me.

The Best

Definately the best zinc supplement I have ever tried. Now on my second order. Ticks all the boxes. No unwanted ingredients. Good balance of chelated picolinate & bisglycinate, and a little copper, and a sensible 25mg dose. Excellent.

Wouldn't be without it

This is a staple for our family, particularly through winter. Coupled with Vit C & D, it is any easy win for immune health and, well health generally. Easy for the body to absorb and a meaningful dose size, balanced with copper for longer-term use. I wouldn't want to be without it.

Balanced Zinc supplement

Easy to swallow, balanced with copper.

a vital nutrient at a low cost value

nicely paired with copper so absorption is enhanced as they work synergistically.

Very good quality

Very good quality, I always buy from this Company.

Amazing Zinc

This stuff is amazing! I take every other day normally, until I begin to feel cold, runny nose or sore throat coming on then I take every day. At least 5 times this year alone it has cleared up whatever was brewing. And my family who do not take it all came down ill. Even my daughter who had a cold it cleared it up in half the time.
I highly recommend taking this, especially if you work with children or the public.

Good zinc

Good zinc, well tolerated and working well

Overall I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking to boost their zinc intake.

Small easy to swallow

I really like these zinc tablets. They are small, easy to swallow tasteless tablets. I have always used igennus and love them. Zinc has amazing benefits I would highly recommend these

Nail Health

My family take quite a number of Igennus supplements and I do believe they do us all very good. Its hard to say sometimes if you feel an improvement in any areas of health, although Im sure they are doing me good. What I have noticed about these vitamins is that my nails look so much more healthy than they did. My nails were always splitting and had a very dry chalky appearance to them. I dont think alcohol gels and constant washing has helped them. After taking the Zinc tablets, my nail beds look pink and healthy and my nails look more moisturised. A split that I have had for about 3 years has now healed. I cant believe it. I have bought every nail treatment available and spent so much money too. I am so happy I tried these. Im sure they will be doing other good things for me too.

Zinc

I am hoping the zinc is being easily absorbed and that it will help maintain the immune system, the skin and hopefullyit will help with dealing with insulin too.

Immune support

It’s difficult to review this as we take about 5 of the iggennus supplements daily, one of which includes zinc but in lower doses.
What I will say is there has been a nasty cold virus circulating, and three of my colleagues got it. It knocked them out for close to three weeks. I was bad for 3 days and made a speedy recovery in comparison, which I put down to the supplement intake and generally healthy diet.
