What is zinc bisglycinate?
Zincis a particularly reactive mineral that plays a vital role in the body, as it is involved in numerous physiological reactions, supporting overall health. To enhance its effectiveness, it is used in the form of bisglycinate, i.e. bound to two glycine molecules to improve its absorption by the body. This increased bioavailability helps to regulate zinc levels in the body and, during a course of treatment, to achieve more effective and long-lasting benefits.
Tsunami Nutrition ’s zinc bisglycinate guarantees:
- Greater bioavailability: better utilisation of nutrients by the body
- Better gastric tolerance: compared to other forms of zinc
- Lower risk of gastrointestinal disturbances.
The difference between zinc and zinc bisglycinate
Zinc is a mineral involved in numerous reactions within the body; it is found in the form of the mineral itself and as zinc bisglycinate.
Zinc is a mineral involved in over 300 reactions within the body; in its ‘chelated’ form – that is, bound to two glycine molecules – it is more easily absorbed by the body without causing any undesirable side effects.
Why choose the chelated form?
The chelated form is the combination of a zinc molecule with two glycine molecules. This bond ensures that the mineral can pass through the digestive barrier without causing any unwanted gastrointestinal disturbances, and that it has a greater effect on the metabolism, thereby providing benefits to the body as a whole.
The main health benefits
The most significant health benefits relate to:
- Immune system
- Health of the skin, nails and hair
- Protein synthesis and metabolism
- Support for cognitive function and oxidative stress.
Immune system support
Zinc bisglycinate offers various benefits that contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system, as well as helping the body to defend itself and respond appropriately to external agents.
Its superior absorption also ensures that the body can effectively support its natural immune defences.
The link between zinc bisglycinate and testosterone
Zinc improves testosterone levels in men by supporting:
- The endocrine system
- By boosting muscle mass, strength and libido.
Positive effects on the skin and hair
Zinc is a molecule that combats free radicals, which in turn cause inflammation and hinder the body’s well-being, affecting the health of hair, nails and skin. The benefits of zinc supplementation support the immune system and help to neutralise unstable molecules that can damage it.
