Key Facts

  • Zinc bisglycinate is a chelated form of zinc designed for superior absorption compared to standard zinc supplements
  • Supports immune function, skin health, and the enzymatic reactions that keep your cells running efficiently
  • Particularly useful during periods of stress or illness when your body's zinc demands increase

Ingredients

Zinc (as TRAACS® Zinc Bisglycinate Chelate) 15 mg, hypromellose capsule, leucine, microcrystalline cellulose, silicon dioxide.

Why We Chose This

Zinc participates in over 200 enzymatic reactions throughout your body, yet many people don't get enough from diet alone. The bisglycinate chelate form means zinc is bound to an amino acid, allowing your digestive system to absorb it more effectively than conventional zinc supplements. This matters because better absorption translates to meaningful support for immune response, antioxidant activity, and cellular health. The 15 mg dose sits in the range recommended for daily supplementation, making it practical for consistent use without excess.

Frequently Asked Questions About Zinc Bisglycinate 15 mg

What is the supporting research for the benefits of zinc bisglycinate?
  • Zinc bisglycinate demonstrates approximately 43% higher oral bioavailability than zinc gluconate. (pharmacokinetic study)
  • Bis-glycinate–bound zinc is associated with improved zinc status and retention. (randomized trial)
  • Adequate zinc status is associated with reduced risk of infections. (umbrella review)
How do I take zinc bisglycinate?

Take 1-2 capsules daily on an empty stomach, 30 minutes before meals or 2 hours after eating for optimal absorption.

If nausea occurs, take with food to reduce digestive discomfort while maintaining consistent daily use.

Can I take zinc bisglycinate with other supplements or medications?

Zinc bisglycinate can interact with certain antibiotics (quinolone and tetracycline types) and penicillamine, so spacing doses by 2-6 hours minimizes interference. Consult your healthcare provider before combining with other medications or supplements.

Most other supplements and medications are compatible with zinc bisglycinate, though separating copper supplements by 5-6 hours prevents absorption competition.

Who might benefit from taking zinc bisglycinate?

People with low zinc levels, those managing immune stress or illness, and individuals seeking skin and reproductive health support benefit most from this highly absorbable form. Athletes, older adults, and anyone under prolonged stress may find it particularly valuable for maintaining optimal enzymatic function and antioxidant activity.

How long does it typically take to notice effects of zinc bisglycinate?

Benefits appear within a few days to a few weeks if you're deficient, while skin and hair improvements typically emerge after 4 to 6 weeks of consistent use.

What’s the difference between testing plans?

The Superpower Baseline Panel is already comprehensive.
It covers 10 times more biomarkers than a typical annual physical.

The Advanced Panel is designed to go deeper, with three scenarios in particular.

  • Uncovering risks that don’t show up in standard labs
    Markers like Lp(a), LDL lipoprotein fractionation help identify cardiovascular risk even when cholesterol looks normal.
  • Know what drives energy, metabolism and hormones
    Tests like insulin, IGF-1, thyroid antibodies, and inflammatory markers explain symptoms that basic hormone tests can’t.
  • Reveal deeper patterns
    Inflammation, autoimmunity, and nutrient markers (e.g. homocysteine, ESR, thyroid antibodies) can show what’s driving long-term health trends.

Individuals with family history of heart disease, unresolved symptoms, or a desire to understand inflammation and hormone health especially benefit from testing.
