Good question. I use
nutricost (finally back in stock and substantially more expensive). 50mg is 50mg.
My question is whether taking Zinc Picolinate has any prophylactic effects? The US diet is poor in zinc, partly because of soil leaching resulting from mono cropping.
Type 2 diabetes as well as other types of metabolic syndrome related disorders are known for low levels of cellular zinc.
Something I have been thinking about.
My question is whether taking Zinc Picolinate has any prophylactic effects? The US diet is poor in zinc, partly because of soil leaching resulting from mono cropping. If the benefits of zinc in the cell are as theorized by Zelenko, then I would think you need the ionophore for a prophylactic effect. I've been taking zinc gluconate and quercetin (reportedly a zinc ionophore) as directed for general immune support. Who knows if that's effective.
