Zinc 20 mg Hypoallergenic in Vegetable Capsule for Immunity — Kirkman
Zinc supplement in a vegetable capsule, with bisglycinate chelate and citrate as active forms, free from major food allergens, produced by Kirkman under the Ultra Tested® protocol. It makes sense for adults and children with food sensitivities who want to support their immune system and general well-being.
Zinc is a mineral present in every cell of the body, with a recognized role in the immune system, skin, vision, and protein metabolism. Kirkman’s Hypoallergenic Zinc 20 mg combines zinc bisglycinate chelate and zinc citrate in a 100% vegetable capsule, free from gluten, casein, and major food allergens. The formula was developed for those with food sensitivities who require controlled nutritional support — both adults and children. It undergoes Kirkman’s Ultra Tested® protocol, with extensive screening for purity and potency.
The zinc in this formula is provided in two forms: bisglycinate chelate and zinc citrate. Bisglycinate chelate is a form where zinc is bound to two amino acids (glycine), which may facilitate its passage through the intestinal barrier compared to inorganic forms like zinc oxide. Zinc citrate is also an organic form, well-established in the supplement industry. The combination of both forms is common in formulas aimed at populations with specific needs for digestibility and gastrointestinal tolerance. Each capsule provides 20 mg of elemental zinc — an appropriate value for daily maintenance in adults, keeping in mind that a portion of the intake may not be absorbed due to competition with other minerals such as calcium, iron, and copper.
The capsule is made of hypromellose (vegetable), without animal gelatin. The excipients — microcrystalline cellulose and vegetable-derived magnesium stearate — are functional and have no relevant nutritional role. The formula contains no gluten, casein, milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, soy, or sesame.
Things to consider
- High or prolonged doses of zinc can interfere with copper absorption; those taking zinc supplements long-term should consider monitoring their copper balance.
