most absorbable form of zinc, seems everyone has a different answer.

[drake25]

is this true in regards to zinc?


"This is medical fact.

Where minerals are concerned, adults can only absorb up to 5% of what they ingest of ordinary minerals. Take 100mg of zinc, you'll only absorb 5mg. 95mg gets passed in the stool.

If you take a mineral thats chelated (bonded to RNA--it's marked "chelated" on the bottle), it's almost 50% absorbable. That's about 50mg of zinc. so get a chelated form and take double the amount you desire to get daily."


im looking for the best form of zinc, so does this mean "chealated" would be the most absorbable?

also it is imperative that i take it with a copper?
