What it is: Pure Encapsulations Zinc (Citrate) delivers 30 mg of zinc as zinc citrate per capsule — an organic citrate salt form with high bioavailability and excellent gastrointestinal tolerability, particularly well-suited for clients who experience GI sensitivity with other zinc forms. Formulated without unnecessary additives, common allergens, GMOs, or artificial ingredients, and manufactured in a GMP-certified facility to Pure Encapsulations' practitioner-grade quality standards.
How it works: Zinc citrate is an organic salt in which zinc is bound to citric acid, forming a soluble, well-absorbed complex at intestinal pH that supports efficient mucosal uptake with reduced gastric irritation risk relative to zinc sulfate or oxide forms. Zinc citrate's bioavailability is consistently comparable to zinc gluconate and superior to zinc oxide in comparative absorption studies. At 30 mg elemental zinc per capsule, zinc citrate supports immune cell maturation and activation, collagen synthesis, carbohydrate metabolism, tissue respiration through carbonic anhydrase, B vitamin absorption, and reproductive and prostate health through the same enzymatic mechanisms as other high-bioavailability zinc forms — delivered in the most gastrointestinally gentle format.
When to use it: Indicated for adults requiring 30 mg daily zinc support with optimal gastrointestinal tolerability — including immune maintenance, metabolic enzyme support, skin and collagen health, reproductive and prostate health, and clients who have experienced GI sensitivity with zinc picolinate or sulfate forms. One capsule daily with a meal. The 180-capsule format supports six months of daily use and is suited for ongoing maintenance protocols. Long-term use at therapeutic zinc doses warrants periodic monitoring of copper status.
Serving Size: 1 Capsule

Caution: If pregnant or lactating, have any health condition, or are taking any medication — including antibiotics — consult your healthcare practitioner before use. Zinc may be contraindicated with certain antibiotics. In rare cases, zinc may cause nausea, vomiting, or a metallic taste. High intakes of zinc may cause fever, diarrhea, fatigue, or impaired immune response. Long-term use at higher doses may reduce copper absorption — consider concurrent copper supplementation in sustained protocols. Keep out of reach of children.

Key Ingredients:
Zinc (as zinc citrate) — 30 mg Zinc citrate delivers 30 mg of elemental zinc per capsule — 273% of the Daily Value — as an organic citrate salt with documented high bioavailability and excellent gastrointestinal tolerability, making it the preferred zinc form for clients with gastric sensitivity. Comparative bioavailability studies consistently demonstrate zinc citrate absorption equivalent to zinc gluconate and superior to zinc oxide and zinc sulfate, with the citrate ligand's solubility at intestinal pH facilitating efficient mucosal uptake through both passive and transporter-mediated pathways. At 30 mg per capsule, zinc citrate supports immune cell activation, carbonic anhydrase-dependent tissue respiration, collagen formation, B vitamin absorption, carbohydrate metabolism, reproductive health, and prostate function — delivering comprehensive daily zinc support at a therapeutic dose in the most gastrointestinally gentle high-bioavailability zinc form available.
