Product Description

BIOGENA uses zinc bisglycinate — a chelate compound that is particularly stomach-friendly and shows higher absorption rates than zinc oxide or sulfate. 15 mg elemental zinc per capsule equals 150% of the NRV.

What We Like

  • Bisglycinate form for high bioavailability
  • Very good stomach tolerance
  • Only one capsule daily
  • No unnecessary fillers

What We’re Missing

  • 15 mg is moderate — possibly insufficient for diagnosed deficiency
  • Significantly more expensive than discount zinc
  • No copper as antagonist included

Usage Recommendation

1 capsule daily, ideally on an empty stomach or with a light meal. Do not take simultaneously with iron, calcium, or coffee.

Ingredient dossier
