The higher strength, said plainly
30 mg in one capsule, double our everyday 15 mg. We would rather tell you most people do not need it than sell it to someone who does not.
The higher-strength zinc, and one to take deliberately. A full 30 mg of zinc picolinate in a single capsule — double our everyday 15 mg. Most people do not need this much, and sustained high zinc intake can affect copper status. It exists for those who have been told to take it.*
This is the higher-strength option, and the honest answer is that most people should be on our 15 mg. Zinc is a mineral where more is not automatically better — sustained high intake competes with copper. Take this because someone qualified told you to, not because the number is bigger.
Zinc Picolinate 30 mg
30 mg in one capsule, double our everyday 15 mg. We would rather tell you most people do not need it than sell it to someone who does not.
A higher zinc amount is a decision worth making with a professional. This exists so that when it has been made, the amount is available in one capsule.
Picolinic acid is what the body produces from L-tryptophan to carry minerals across the gut wall. Picolinate uses that route rather than fighting it.
Zinc is essential to the development and normal function of the immune cells the body depends on.
Zinc supports collagen formation and normal tissue repair, which is why it is among the most studied minerals for skin.
Reaching this amount by doubling up on lower-strength capsules is the clumsier way to arrive at it.
Zinc is a required cofactor for superoxide dismutase, one of the antioxidant enzymes your body makes for itself.
Zinc contributes to normal hair and nails, and both grow slowly enough that consistency matters more than dose.
Sustained high zinc intake competes with copper absorption. That is not a reason to avoid 30 mg, it is a reason to take it deliberately.

Same picolinate form as our 15 mg, at double the amount. Zinc bound to picolinic acid — the carrier the body makes from L-tryptophan to move minerals across the gut wall — which is why picolinate is among the better-absorbed forms. Be clear about what 30 mg is, though: it is a deliberate, higher-strength amount rather than a default, and sustained high zinc intake competes with copper absorption. If nobody has told you to take this much, our 15 mg is the one you want.

OUR QUALITY STANDARD
Quality is personal. Our standard centers on heavy-metal and microbiological testing, clear specifications, and documented results.
CAREFUL TESTING. CLEAR DOCUMENTATION.
Higher-strength formula. Do not combine with other zinc supplements unless directed by a healthcare professional. Long-term high zinc intake can affect copper status. Keep out of reach of children. Consult a healthcare professional before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medication, or under medical supervision.
