Zinc Picolinate is a dietary zinc supplement containing the zinc salt of picolinic acid, that can be used to prevent or treat zinc deficiency, and with immunomodulatory activity. Upon administration, zinc picolinate supplements zinc. As an essential trace element, zinc is of key importance in many biological processes. It plays an important role in the proper functioning of the both the innate and adaptive immune system. Zinc inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory mediators and prevents inflammation. It acts as an antioxidant, prevents oxidative damage and protects cells against DNA damage. Zinc is required for the enzyme activities necessary for cell division, cell growth, and wound healing.

Iron Chelating Agents

Organic chemicals that form two or more coordination links with an iron ion. Once coordination has occurred, the complex formed is called a chelate. The iron-binding porphyrin group of hemoglobin is an example of a metal chelate found in biological systems. (See all compounds classified as Iron Chelating Agents.)
