Even though there are many chelated zinc supplements on the market, NOW Zinc Glycinate Softgels are one of the most popular options. Chelated zinc is a zinc supplement that utilizes a chelating agent to aid the body in absorbing zinc more efficiently.
Inside each softgel is 30 mg of zinc glycinate—a form of zinc that former studies suggest is easier for the body to absorb than other kinds of zinc. Zinc is also a mineral that supports a healthy prostate.
Every supplement from Now gets certified by Underwriters Laboratories and follows CGMPs to guarantee accuracy and quality. Also, these supplements happen to be more affordable than many of the other high-quality brands.
NOW Zinc Glycinate contains 250 mg of pumpkin seed oil. Zinc is a vital mineral cofactor in hundreds of enzymatic reactions concerning carbohydrate metabolism and protein, intercellular signaling, and RNA/DNA synthesis.
NOW recommends taking one softgel per day, with meals, to avoid side effects such as an upset stomach, vomiting, nausea, or diarrhea. It costs $8-$10 for one bottle of NOW Zinc Glycinate or a four-month supply with 120 capsules per bottle.
