Description
WHY SUPPLEMENT WITH ZINC? Zinc is an essential antioxidant trace element in maintaining immunity as well as healthy skin (acne), nails and hair. Yet ⅓ of the French population is thought to be zinc deficient. A diet low in meat and rich in cereals and legumes promotes the intake of phytates, phosphorus compounds that bind to zinc and greatly limit its absorption. WHY THE BISGLYCINATE FORM? There are different forms of zinc on the market: zinc citrate, picolinate, orotate, gluconate… But all studies agree on one thing: zinc bisglycinate is the one with the best bioavailability (+43,4% compared to gluconate: see study in description) and this without causing digestive disorders. WHY THE PATENTED ZINC BISGLYCINATE, TRAACS ® ? Our zinc bisglycinate is produced by our American partner, leader in chelated forms: Albion Minerals ® . This manufacturing process, patented under the name TRAACS ® guarantees a form that is 100% chelated with two glycine molecules. This is the big difference with other products from certain Chinese manufacturers, which also contain the inorganic oxide form, poorly tolerated by the body. WHY 10 MG OF ELEMENTAL ZINC? At Terravita, we are not fans of overdosing. Indeed, many foods already contain varying amounts of zinc. The Reference Value (RV) of 10 mg per day of elemental zinc is not set at random. A zinc overdose can have serious consequences for the body. Don't get caught up in the race for “always more”. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION Our patented zinc bisglycinate, TRAACS ® is manufactured in the United States by the Albion Minerals ® laboratories, then packaged in France. Your satisfaction is our priority. Do not hesitate to contact us, our team of nutritionists and experts will be happy to offer you personalised assistance. Suitable for a vegetarian and vegan diet.
