Dosage & Bioavailability
How the active doses and forms in Zinc Picolinate 3-in-1 compare to the research.
•Zinc Picolinate — 83.4 mg per serving is over the 40 mg/day upper limit (IOM (NIH ODS)) and the 25 mg/day limit (EU SCF/EFSA). Long-term intake above this limit can cause copper deficiency, which can lead to anaemia, low white blood cells and nerve problems. That is about 83.4 mg elemental from 417 mg picolinate.
•Zinc Picolinate — zinc picolinate is among the preferred forms of zinc in Suppie's ingredient library.
•Copper Glycinate — the label gives the compound weight, not elemental copper, so the dose cannot be checked.
