Zinc Methionine

The Immune & Metabolic Essential

A highly bioavailable form of zinc, bound to the amino acid methionine, designed to optimise absorption and utilisation in the body.

What is Zinc Methionine Good For?

Zinc Methionine provides a stable, chelated form of zinc that the body can absorb more efficiently than standard zinc salts. Zinc is an essential trace mineral required for more than 300 enzymatic reactions, supporting immunity, hormone regulation, metabolic function, and cellular processes.

 

Zinc Methionine may lead to:

  • Improved immune system and reduced inflammatory markers (e.g. C-reactive protein and TNF-ɑ)
  • Improvements in several skin conditions (e.g. atopic dermatitis, acne) and hair quality
  • Decrease in body fat and in improved insulin sensitivity
  • Improved hormonal levels (e.g. increase in testosterone in men or postmenopausal women)
  • Enhanced cognition in overweight and obese women

What is Zinc?

Zinc is a critical micronutrient involved in growth, immunity, wound healing, and antioxidant defence. However, not all forms of zinc are equally bioavailable. Binding zinc to the amino acid methionine creates a chelate that is better absorbed and retained in tissues, helping to maintain biological processes.

What is the Recommended Daily Dose of Zinc Methionine?

A minimum supplemental dose of 7 mg elemental zinc (as zinc methionine) per day is sufficient to meet the EU NRV (100%), contributing to daily immune defence and biological processes in healthy adults.

Your Questions About Zinc Methionine

Reach us arrow_forward
It’s a chelated form of zinc where the mineral is bound to methionine, improving its absorption and stability in the body.
It improves immune defense, metabolic processes, hormone regulation, and skin conditions while offering superior bioavailability compared to standard zinc supplements.
Compared to zinc oxide or sulfate, zinc methionine shows higher absorption and tissue retention, making it more efficient at delivering biological benefits.
Zinc is safe within the recommended dose. Excess intake (above 40 mg/day long term) may interfere with copper absorption. Always follow dosage guidance.
Yes, zinc plays a critical role in the activation of immune cells and antiviral defence, making it one of the most effective micronutrients for immune support.
