Short answer: Zinc bisglycinate is zinc bound to the amino acid glycine, a chelated form. Wellah describes it as designed for enhanced absorption and tolerability. Each Wellah Zinc Bisglycinate capsule delivers 50mg of zinc, one capsule is a serving, and a bottle holds 120 servings. Taking it with food may be easier on the stomach.
Zinc comes in many forms, from zinc oxide to zinc gluconate. This guide explains the bisglycinate form, how to take Wellah's capsule, and what to know before you start.
What is zinc bisglycinate?
"Bisglycinate" means each zinc atom is attached to two glycine molecules. This is called chelation. The Wellah Zinc Bisglycinate product page notes that the form of zinc matters, and that this chelated form is chosen for absorption and tolerability.
Why do people take zinc?
Wellah's page explains that zinc is involved in hundreds of everyday processes, from immune function and cellular repair to brain and cognitive health. The capsule is meant to support your body's natural immune defenses, healthy cognitive function and normal cellular processes.
How much zinc is in each capsule?
Each capsule provides 50mg of zinc. That is a high-potency amount, and the serving is one capsule. Do not take more than the label directs, and count any zinc you already get from a multivitamin.
How should you take it?
- Take 1 capsule as a serving.
- Take it with food if your stomach is sensitive. The product page says this may help.
- Pick a set time, such as breakfast, so it becomes routine.
One bottle has 120 servings, which is about four months at one capsule a day.
Who should talk to a doctor first?
Because 50mg is a high dose, check with your doctor before starting if you are pregnant or nursing, take medication, or have a medical condition.
