Rating breakdown

Evidence for ingredient 8.0/10

Zinc is an essential trace element with well-documented importance for immune function, wound healing, testosterone metabolism, and cognitive function. Zinc deficiency is common; supplementation in deficiency is clearly beneficial. Zinc picolinate is considered a well-absorbed form.

Value for money 9.0/10

About €0.08 per day for 25 mg zinc picolinate with 120 servings is very affordable. Hard to beat on price.

Product quality 7.0/10

Zinc picolinate is a well-bioavailable zinc form. Nutricost keeps the formulation clean and functional without unnecessary additives.

Label honesty 7.0/10

Clear disclosure of zinc form and dosage. No exaggerated claims. Straightforward US supplement standard.

Third-party testing 6.0/10

Nutricost references third-party testing and GMP production. No specific certification such as NSF Sport present.

Product Description

Nutricost Zinc Picolinate delivers 25 mg zinc picolinate per capsule — a well-bioavailable zinc compound often considered more tolerable than zinc gluconate or sulfate. Zinc is essential for numerous body functions: immune defense, wound healing, hormone metabolism, and cognitive performance.

What We Like

  • Zinc picolinate — well-bioavailable zinc form
  • 25 mg per capsule — practical dosage
  • 120 capsules per pack at a very affordable price
  • Clean formulation without unnecessary additives

What We’re Missing

  • Not available in Germany — US import required
  • 25 mg is relatively high — monitor copper status with long-term supplementation
  • No specific certification (no NSF Sport etc.)

Usage Recommendation

Take 1 capsule daily, ideally with a meal. Monitor copper intake at higher doses.
