What is zinc bisglycinate?

In food supplements, zinc is always bound to a carrier compound. In zinc bisglycinate these are two molecules of the amino acid glycine. Other common compounds are, for example, zinc gluconate, zinc citrate or zinc oxide.

Zinc in the diet

Zinc is found mainly in meat, cheese, eggs, wholegrain products, pulses and nuts. How much of it the body absorbs also depends on the phytate content of the meal, which is particularly high in wholegrain foods and pulses.

Depending on phytate intake, the German Nutrition Society (DGE) therefore gives reference values of 7 to 10 mg of zinc per day for women and 11 to 16 mg per day for men.
