Zinc Glycinate - 60 Capsules

Zinc is a vital nutrient renowned for its substantial benefits to hair, skin & eye health.

In the skin, zinc acts as an antioxidant, helping to fight off damaging free radicals & aids in the repair & regeneration of skin tissues.

For hair, zinc strengthens hair follicles which promote healthy hair growth.

And also plays a key role in the production of keratin, a protein in our hair that supports hair length & hair strength.

And lastly, zinc plays a crucial role in maintaining eye health by protecting against macular degeneration and aiding in night vision.

Zinc is essential for the function & development of immune cells, enhancing the body's ability to defend against infections and diseases.

And it also plays a key role in inflammatory responses to help reduce the duration & severity of colds.

Zinc is a key mineral for hormone regulation, fertility enhancement, reproductive health & hormonal communication between cells that use hormonal signals to regulate production.

Zinc directly influences the pituitary gland, which is responsible for releasing the hormones that stimulate the production of sex hormones in both men & women.

And ensuring adequate zinc intake can help maintain optimal levels of reproductive hormones, crucial for overall reproductive health & function.

Zinc directly affects testosterone production through its role in the endocrine system.

Specifically Leydig cells—the cells in the testes responsible for producing testosterone.

These enzymes are involved in the conversion of cholesterol into testosterone, a key step in testosterone synthesis.

And in terms of sperm health, zinc acts as a powerful antioxidant in the testes and seminal fluid, protecting sperm from oxidative damage and enhancing both sperm count and motility—critical factors for male fertility.

Zinc plays a crucial role in neuron activity & neurotransmitter production, that enhance mental performance.

And supports the structure & function of brain cells, contributing to neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to adapt and form new connections).

Zinc supplements can never simply be 'pure zinc.' They must be bound to another element for stability & proper absorption in the digestive system.

There are however significant differences in how well a zinc supplement is absorbed depending on the compound the zinc is bound to.

We've formulated our Zinc with the amino acid Glycine to create Zinc Glycinate - a form of zinc scientifically shown to have superior bioavailability & increased absorption over other forms of zinc supplements like Zinc Citrate & Zinc Gluconate.

Unfortunately, as labelling does not require Zinc Glycinate supplements to distinguish whether they are buffered, versus pure / unbuffered, there are many Zinc Glycinate supplements that are actaully mixed with other, often less bioavailable forms of zinc. This process is called 'buffering.'

At Honour, absolute integrity in our products is a non-negotiable & this is reflected in our commitment to deliver you with the highest quality, 100% pure, unbuffered Zinc Glycinate.

Most Zinc supplements come in tablet form - with a solid, hard, smooth surface.

The issue with hard tablets is that they can often require high amounts of additives & binders / glues to ensure stability or supplement composition (for example, a hard tablet is mostly powder, bound & glued together to make a hard structure).

Our Zinc Glycinate comes in powder form, microencapsulated in a vegan based, hard capsule made from hypromellose (a natural fiber).

This allows complete encapsulation of the highest quality, unbuffered Zinc Glycinate without the need for unnecessary binders or additves.

As per Australian Regulation, excipients / additives that may be required to manufacture zinc supplements are not required to be detailed on the label.

This makes it very hard to make an informed decision for the 'conscious consumer.'

Not only do we disclose every single ingredient in our Zinc Glycinate, we guarantee that every ingredient serves a specific purpose & that there are absolutely no unnecessary fillers.

Our Zinc Glycinate is comprised of 100% pure, unbuffered Zinc Glycinate & the amino acid l-leucine which also acts as a lubricant & anti-caking agent (compounds added in small amounts to ensure product flows freely through machines & prevents clumping of ingredients during manufacturing).
