What is zinc?

Zinc is an essential mineral for the human body that is needed to maintain vital functions. Among its functions, Zinc participates in more than 300 enzymatic reactions and is essential for the immune system, wound healing, vision and growth, among others.

How many types of Zinc are there?

There are different types of zinc, depending on their bioavailability levels and potential benefits, among which can be found: 

• zinc glutonate: It is formed by combining zinc with gluconic acid, a natural organic acid derived from glucose. It has a mild flavor and medium bioavailability.
• Zinc citrate: It is formed by combining zinc with citric acid. It has moderate bioavailability and is usually found in toothpaste or similar thanks to its antibacterial properties.
• Zinc oxide: Form of zinc with low bioavailability, normally used in protectors, due to its skin protective function.
• Zinc acetate: Form of zinc obtained from the combination with acetic acid. It is used in cold and sore throat lozenges.
• Zinc Picolinate: Form of zinc with high bioavailability that mainly supports the immune, muscular and dermatological systems.
• Zinc bisglycinate: Chelated form of zinc, in which it binds to two glycine molecules. It has high bioavailability, so it is absorbed and used effectively by the body.
