Vitals Zinc 15mg
This product contains zinc in the form of zinc bisglycinate. Each zinc particle is strongly bound (chelated) to two (bis) molecules of the amino acid glycine. The general term for such a compound is amino acid chelate or amino acid chelated mineral. The word "chelate" comes from the Greek and means "claw."
This bonding method was chosen because of its exceptionally good bioavailability. Vitals uses only genuine amino acid chelates from Albion Minerals, recognizable by the trademark TRAACS®, which stands for The Real Amino Acid Chelate System. This brand was created to clearly distinguish itself from other, potentially inferior, unstable amino acid chelates. Albion has filed over 100 patents worldwide that guarantee the process, science, and structure of their amino acid chelated minerals. Furthermore, research is conducted on their minerals, and quality assurance is performed on every batch produced. It is essential to verify that chelation has actually occurred and that the bonds are strong enough.
Benefits of Amino Acid Chelated Minerals
The chelate structure in an amino acid chelate is strong enough not to be broken down by gastric juice or digestive enzymes (as is typically the case with other mineral compounds), but also weak enough to allow the mineral to be released once absorbed by the intestinal cells. The amino acids wrap around the mineral, protecting it during the digestive process and preventing it from detaching. The chelate's electrical charge is also neutral, preventing it from adhering to food particles in the stomach and intestines. The amino acid chelate thus reaches the small intestine intact, where it is absorbed as a dipeptide (a compound containing two amino acids). This is very advantageous because the body can absorb amino acids (and dipeptides in particular) very easily, especially if they consist of the smallest amino acid, glycine. This makes amino acid chelated minerals much more absorbable than other mineral forms. In the epithelial tissue of the jejunum (middle portion of the small intestine), the amino acid-chelated mineral is delivered to the mucous cells by active transport, without competing with other minerals. Only in the mucous cells do metabolic processes ensure that the glycine and the mineral are split and become available to the various organs and systems in the body.
Without copper
Zinc and copper are antagonists. A high zinc intake (50 mg or more per day) over a prolonged period (longer than a month) can lead to a low copper status, which is undesirable. However, an excessively high copper status is also undesirable, especially for the elderly. Vitals therefore deliberately chooses not to combine zinc and copper in this product, assuming that there is a good chance that someone also takes a daily multivitamin and mineral supplement and thus already receives some additional copper. For doses of 45 mg or more per day (3 capsules), it is recommended to supplement with additional copper, preferably at a different time of day to prevent competition in absorption.
