**Zinc** at 50mg per capsule in the picolinate form — one of the best-absorbed forms available. That dose sits well above the 15–30mg range used in most clinical research for immune support, skin healing, and hormonal health. You're getting a genuinely effective amount of zinc in a single capsule.

The picolinate form is a premium choice for absorption, so your body is actually using what you're taking. Zinc has strong clinical evidence across immune defense, wound repair, and even mood support, and at this dose you're fully covered for those benefits.

One important caveat: 50mg exceeds the tolerable upper limit of 40mg per day. Long-term daily use at this dose can deplete your copper stores, which creates its own set of problems. If you plan to take this regularly, pairing it with 1–2mg of copper is worth considering — or you could take it every other day to stay within safer long-term ranges.
