Zinc Picolinate

A well-absorbed zinc salt for people who under-eat meat.

Zinc is an immune and hormone cofactor, not a testosterone cheat code. Picolinate is one of the better-tolerated forms. Daily high doses crowd out copper — treat it like a mineral, not a stack mascot.

How to use

15–30 mg elemental zinc with food, not every night forever without a reason.
