★★★★★ "I won't go back to high street supplements. The difference in quality is something you can actually feel." Susie
Zinc Picolinate Capsules give you zinc bound to picolinic acid, one of the better absorbed forms and gentle on the stomach. Each capsule provides 13.8mg of zinc and you take one or two a day with a meal, from a pot of 120 capsules.
Benefits of taking zinc
Zinc is a mineral your immune system, skin and hormones all depend on. Intake is often low in people who eat little meat or shellfish.
- Your immune system gets the zinc it relies on.
- Skin, hair and nails stay healthy.
- Fertility and reproduction stay normal.
- Thinking and memory keep working as they should.
Who benefits
Zinc Picolinate Capsules are most useful for:
- People who eat little meat or shellfish, the main food sources of zinc.
- Anyone who wants a moderate daily amount in a form that is easy on the stomach.
- Those going into cold season or recovering from being run down, when two capsules a day is the amount to take.
- Couples looking after fertility, which zinc contributes to.
If you cannot swallow capsules or want to adjust the amount by the drop, Super Zinc Liquid gives 8mg of zinc in ten drops.
What is in it
Each capsule provides 13.8mg of zinc, which is 138% of the daily reference value. The other ingredients are cellulose and the vegetable capsule shell. Chelated zinc and zinc picolinic acid are other names for it.
How to take it
Take one or two capsules a day, with or just after a meal. One a day is the everyday amount, while two a day is for periods of increased need such as cold season, after illness or when working on skin, hair or hormonal concerns.
Diet and allergens
The capsules are suitable for vegans and vegetarians. They are free from gluten, dairy and nuts.
Quality
The capsules are made in the UK in a GMP certified cleanroom facility accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. Every batch is traceable from raw material to finished product. Like every supplement Nutri Tailor stocks, they are practitioner grade and guaranteed additive free.
Common questions
Why zinc picolinate rather than citrate, gluconate or oxide?
Picolinate is zinc bound to picolinic acid, a form the body absorbs well. Citrate and gluconate are also well absorbed, while oxide is the cheapest and the least well absorbed. Picolinate is the usual choice for a moderate daily amount that is easy on the stomach.
How much zinc should I take a day?
Take one capsule a day for everyday use, or two a day at times of increased need. Long term intake above 40mg a day can lower copper, so keep to the label amount.
When is the best time to take zinc?
Take it with or just after a meal, because zinc on an empty stomach can cause nausea. Meals that include protein support absorption.
Can I take it with other supplements?
Yes, as long as you leave a gap. Zinc competes with iron, calcium and high dose magnesium for absorption, so take those at least two hours apart. If you take zinc every day for a long time, Copper Citrate Capsules keep the two minerals in balance.
Does zinc have side effects?
Nausea is the one to know about, which happens when zinc is taken on an empty stomach, so take it with food.
What are the signs I might be low in zinc?
Changes in taste, slow healing skin and getting run down more often are the signs people report. A blood test can confirm your level.

Frequently asked questions
What is Zinc Picolinate good for?
Zinc Picolinate supports immune function, skin health, and hormonal balance.
When should I take zinc?
Take it with food, which most people find easier on the stomach. Leave a gap of an hour or two between zinc and iron or calcium supplements.
What are signs I might be low in zinc?
Signs people report include changes in taste, slow-healing skin and getting run down more often. A blood test can confirm your level.
Is zinc relevant to skin?
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin. That is the authorised claim; Nutri Tailor makes no claim about any skin condition.
How much zinc is too much?
Long-term intake above 40mg daily can cause copper deficiency. Cycle on and off or use a zinc-copper combination.
Why zinc picolinate rather than zinc citrate, gluconate or oxide?
Picolinate is zinc bound to picolinic acid, a form the body absorbs well. Citrate and gluconate are also well absorbed and are common in high street products. Zinc bisglycinate, zinc bound to glycine, is another well absorbed chelated form and a fair alternative to picolinate, though Nutri Tailor does not stock it. Oxide is the cheapest and the least well absorbed. Picolinate is the usual choice for people who want a moderate daily dose in a form that is easy on the stomach.
Why capsules rather than tablets?
Tablets need binders, fillers and a coating to hold their shape. A capsule is a cellulose shell around the powder, so it carries no binders and breaks down quickly once swallowed.
