Zinc picolinate 15
Zinc from well bioavailable zinc picolinate
Zinc and the topic of bioavailability
There are now many different zinc preparations on the market. It is often difficult to choose one. The question is: Which one is right for me? Gluconate or citrate? Oxide or sulphate? Or something completely different? The main differences between the different zinc compounds are the solubility behaviour and the so-called bioavailability. Bioavailability indicates how quickly and to what extent a nutrient is absorbed from the intestine into the blood and then reaches the place in the body where it is needed. The higher the bioavailability of a micronutrient compound, the better. In this context, research focused primarily on picolinic acid. This is blamed for the good availability of zinc in breast milk. Against this background, Biogena has developed the new zinc picolinate 15, which is characterized by high bioavailability and good tolerability. The trace element zinc is essential for the body. As a component of over 300 enzyme systems, zinc supports various functions such as the immune system. It also plays a role in the maintenance of skin, hair and nails and helps to protect the cells from oxidative stress.

FAQ
At Biogena, “pure substance principle” means that we do not use technological additives which are used for the fully automated manufacturing of tablets, capsules and pills (e.g. anticaking or release agents and so forth) or additives that are used for optical reasons or for enhancing the taste of the products (artificial aroma, colouring agents, coatings etc.). Due to a semi-automatic manufacturing process, we can avoid these substances that often have a higher proportion in customary products than the actual active ingredients. In the case of nutritional supplements, additives have to be indicated in the list of ingredients. Here, the patient or customer can get useful information. Concerning the single ingredients, we also care for our raw materials to be free of carrier substances. In cases where this is not possible, we use natural food components such as maltodextrin, cellulose powder or calcium carbonate. The majority of our ingredients is produced exclusively for us – free of carrier substances (e.g. our enzymes our probiotics: other manufacturers often use lactose as a carrier – the product batches produced for us are explicitly without carriers).
BIOGENA preparations are carefully manufactured in our own production facility, BIOGENA Good Health World (Salzburg, Austria), to a unique manufacturing standard. We are certified according to ISO 22,000:2018 and GMP - Good Manufacturing Practice and have organic, halal and kosher certification.
