Swanson's Zinc Orotate provides 10 mg of elemental zinc which helps transport minerals throughout the body. Zinc Orotate is a highly bioavailable mineral that combines elemental zinc with a heterocyclic compound known as orotic acid.

Key benefits:

• Highly bioavailable mineral
• Helps transport minerals throughout the body
• Provides 10 mg of elemental zinc

The use of orotic acid as a mineral transport facilitator was pioneered by the famous German orthomolecular physician Dr. Hans Nieper as a way to enhance the uptake of supplemental minerals into body tissues. The fact that orotic acid is a substance produced in the body makes it an excellent mineral carrier, capable of easily penetrating cell membranes and increasing tissue concentrations.
