:Zinc picolinate
Description:
Zinc picolinate is a coordination complex formed between zinc and picolinic acid, a derivative of the amino acid tryptophan. It is characterized by its role as a dietary supplement, primarily used to enhance zinc absorption in the body. The compound is often favored for its bioavailability compared to other zinc salts, making it an effective source of zinc for nutritional purposes. Zinc picolinate appears as a white to off-white powder and is soluble in water, which facilitates its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. It plays a crucial role in various biological functions, including immune response, protein synthesis, and DNA synthesis. Additionally, zinc is essential for the activity of numerous enzymes and is involved in the regulation of cellular metabolism. As a supplement, zinc picolinate is generally considered safe when taken at recommended dosages, although excessive intake can lead to adverse effects. Overall, zinc picolinate is valued for its potential health benefits, particularly in supporting immune function and overall well-being.

CAS:<p>Zinc picolinate is an enzyme activator that has been shown to increase the activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase. It is also a potent inhibitor of lipid peroxidation and facilitates the transport of zinc across cell membranes. Zinc picolinate has minimal toxicity in vitro and in vivo. Molecular docking studies have been performed to determine its binding affinity with chromium-binding proteins. Zinc picolinate has also been shown to increase the production of growth factor-β1 by cells in culture and to inhibit the production of picolinic acid, which is toxic to cells. The coordination geometry around zinc ions can be elucidated from x-ray crystal structures and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy studies.</p>Formula:C12H8N2O4ZnPurity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:White PowderMolecular weight:309.58 g/mol
