primo1 2 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I read that most mineral supplements, specifically zinc, cant be absorbed by our bodies well. I read that zinc picolinate is the best form to take. BUT I also read that chelated zinc is just as good or even better because of the amino acids. So which is really better? tnx! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uglies 0 Share Posted July 25, 2011 bump! I would like to know too! There is so much to research right now and I'm pretty overwhelmed. So much seems contradictory or lacking sufficient backup to whatever claims are made. If anyone does happen to know any hard straight facts or even anecdotal evidence, please share it. Thanks!

uglies 0 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Ordered zinc picolinate! 60x 30g tablets. Will begin by having half a tablet per day. Will update either here and/or elsewhere in the forums. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theGreyhound 9 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Citrate is cheap, easily absorbed, and easier on your stomach.I take it regularly and it has definitely helped keep breakouts to the minimum and shortens them when they do occur it seems Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neverforget 0 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Picolinate and L-OptiZinc are thrown out there for their bioavailable strengths. I've taken and enjoyed both immensely. My experience with them has been more successful than the chelated kind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uglies 0 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Started on 30mg zinc picolinate today! Apparently it's the most effective strain (or however you call that term). Updates will be in my log. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
