Zinc Bisglycinate
Zinc is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of processes throughout the body including reproductive health, immune function, skin health, and wound healing.
Maintaining an adequate zinc intake matters, particularly when dietary intake may be insufficient.
Why Zinc Matters for Men's Health
Zinc is involved in cellular signalling, enzyme activity, DNA synthesis and cell division. All fundamental processes required throughout normal male reproductive function.
Sperm Health
Sperm production involves repeated cell division, DNA replication and cellular maturation. Zinc is highly represented within the male reproductive tract and seminal fluid, and research has linked zinc with several aspects of normal sperm biology, including sperm development, membrane stability and cellular signalling involved in sperm function. Zinc also interacts with proteins involved in packaging and stabilising sperm DNA.
Reproductive Hormones
Zinc also participates in enzyme systems, gene regulation and cellular signalling involved in normal testicular and reproductive function. Research examining zinc status and testosterone has found an association between zinc status and circulating testosterone, with the relationship appearing relevant when zinc status is in adequate.
Oxidative Stress
Sperm cells are especially susceptible to oxidative stress because their membranes contain large amounts of oxidation-senstive polyunsaturated fatty acids. Excess reactive oxygen species can damage sperm membranes and DNA and interfere with normal sperm function. Zinc contributes to antioxidant defence and has been studied for its role in protecting tha male reproductive environment from oxidative stress.

But when choosing a zinc supplement, the form matters.
Veritroo uses Zinc Bisglycinate, providing 25mg of elemental zinc per capsule in a highly bioavailable form. With flexible 1-2 capsule dosing, it can be used for ongoing daily support or a higher short term dose when required.
Why Veritroo Zinc Bisglycinate?
Highly bioavailable form: Zinc is bound to the amino acid glycine designed to be well tolerated.
25mg elemental zinc per capsule: Providing the flexibility to take two capsules for a 50mg short-term dose when required, to support wound healing, help reduce the duration of the common cold, or help prevent dietary zinc deficiency.
No competing nutrients: A standalone zinc formula without added competing nutrients within the same capsule.
Excipient minimised: Made with Ribus® clean-label excipients and a vegan capsule.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
