This **zinc** glycinate chelate delivers 22mg of well-absorbed zinc for immune support — a genuinely effective amount tied to the roughly one-third shorter common cold seen across clinical trials, not a token dose. One tablet a day covers it, and because the zinc is chelated to glycine, most of that 22mg is actually taken up rather than passing through.
Daily zinc has one tradeoff worth knowing: over months, it competes with copper for absorption and can quietly lower your copper levels. At 22mg you're comfortably under the 40mg upper limit, so there's no acute safety issue — but if you plan to take this long-term, pairing it with 1–2mg of copper keeps the two minerals in balance.
