The oral bioavailability of zinc bisglycinate chelate was compared in two clinical research trials to zinc gluconate, a commonly used chelate form in zinc supplements. The first trial, a randomized crossover trial, showed that a single dose of zinc bisglycinate had a significantly higher bioavailability than zinc gluconate.¹

A subsequent double-blind, placebo-controlled trial revealed that a 60 mg daily dose of zinc bisglycinate significantly increased plasma zinc. Also, once again, zinc bisglycinate had superior bioavailability to the gluconate form, promoting increased absorption.²

NutraMedix Zinc, in bisglycinate chelate form, is an educated choice for any zinc need.ᶧ
