NutraBio Zinc Chelate

30mg of Albion zinc bisglycinate chelate per single capsule — 200% of the daily value. 120 vegetable capsules, no fillers.

Why zinc matters, especially if you train

Zinc is required for the proper function of roughly 300 enzymes, and it is involved in a genuinely broad set of processes:

Immune function. The best-known role, and the reason zinc appears in cold remedies
Testosterone production. Zinc deficiency is associated with reduced testosterone, which is why it appears in ZMA-style formulas
Protein synthesis and cell division — directly relevant to recovery and tissue repair
Antioxidant defence. Zinc is required to form superoxide dismutase, one of the body's primary free radical scavengers
Taste, smell and appetite regulation — loss of taste is a classic sign of deficiency

The training angle: zinc is lost in sweat, and heavy training increases turnover. Athletes are among the groups where low status is more commonly observed.

What "chelated" actually means — and why it is on the label

This word appears across the whole NutraBio mineral range, and it is worth understanding once.

Minerals in their raw inorganic form — oxides, carbonates, sulphates — are poorly absorbed. Your gut has a limited number of mineral transporters, and when several minerals arrive at once they compete for the same transporters. Much of what you swallow is simply excreted.

Chelation solves that with a piece of biological misdirection. The mineral is molecularly bonded to an amino acid — typically glycine — so it is effectively wrapped in amino acid.

Your body absorbs amino acids through a completely different, far higher-capacity pathway, because it is built to handle the large quantities that come from dietary protein. A chelated mineral rides that pathway instead, which means better absorption and no competition with other minerals.

The second benefit is comfort. Unabsorbed minerals sitting in the gut are what cause the cramping, bloating and loose stools people associate with mineral supplements. Better absorption means less left behind.

NutraBio use Albion minerals — the company that developed the TRAACS chelation standard, with a substantial published research base behind their forms.

⚠ The zinc and copper problem — read this before long-term use

This is the most important thing on this page, and most zinc products do not mention it.

Zinc and copper compete for the same absorption pathway. Sustained high-dose zinc supplementation can drive down copper status, and copper deficiency is a real condition — associated with anaemia and neurological problems.

30mg is 200% of the daily value. That is a therapeutic dose rather than a maintenance one, and the tolerable upper intake level for adults is generally cited at 40mg from all sources.

Practical guidance:

Short-term or intermittent use at 30mg is fine — around illness, or to correct a shortfall
If you take it daily for months, consider adding copper. NutraBio make a chelated copper for exactly this reason. A ratio in the region of 10:1 or 15:1 zinc to copper is commonly used
Count your other sources. Multivitamins, ZMA products and testosterone formulas frequently contain zinc, and it adds up quickly

We would rather tell you that than let you take 30mg daily for a year without knowing.

Who this is for

Anyone training hard, since zinc is lost in sweat
People wanting immune support, particularly through winter

Anyone planning to take it daily for months without copper. See the warning above.

Frequently asked questions

How much zinc is in a capsule?
30mg, which is 200% of the daily value — a therapeutic dose rather than a maintenance one.

Can I take it every day?
Short-term or intermittent use is fine. For long-term daily use, consider adding copper, since zinc competes with it for absorption.

What is the zinc-copper issue?
They share an absorption pathway, so sustained high-dose zinc can drive copper status down. Copper deficiency is associated with anaemia and neurological problems.

Why does zinc make me feel sick?
Zinc on an empty stomach causes nausea in many people. Take it with a meal.

What does bisglycinate mean?
The zinc is bonded to two glycine molecules, so it absorbs via the amino acid pathway — better absorbed and gentler than inorganic zinc salts.

Does zinc raise testosterone?
It corrects a deficiency that suppresses it. If your zinc status is already adequate, supplementing more will not raise testosterone further.

Should vegetarians take zinc?
It is worth considering. Plant foods contain phytates that bind zinc and reduce absorption, though chelated forms largely avoid that problem.

Is 30mg too much?
The tolerable upper level from all sources is generally cited at 40mg, so count what is in your multivitamin too.
