Zinc is an essential mineral which is second only to iron as the most plentiful trace element in the body. Zinc picolinate is a highly bioavailable form of the mineral. Zinc supports the immune system, eye health, prostate health and taste acuity.

High zinc intake can cause nausea, dizziness, headaches, gastric distress, vomiting, and loss of appetite. If used for weeks, doses of 50 mg zinc or more—typically from supplements – can interfere with copper absorption (which can cause low copper status), reduce immune function, and lower HDL cholesterol levels.

Zinc has the potential to interact with certain medications:

Antibiotics. Take antibiotics at least 2 hours before or 4–6 hours after the zinc supplement minimizes this interaction.

Penicillamine. Zinc can reduce the absorption and action of penicillamine, a drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and Wilson disease. To minimize this interaction, people should take zinc supplements and penicillamine at least 1 hour apart.

Diuretics. Thiazide diuretics, such as chlorthalidone (Hygroton® and Thalitone®) and hydrochlorothiazide (e.g., Esidrix® and HydroDIURIL®), increase zinc excretion in the urine.

If you take any of these medications, you should speak to your health care provider about appropriate dosage of this supplement.

Chronic exposure to high levels of copper can result in liver damage and gastrointestinal symptoms (e.g., abdominal pain, cramps, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting). Copper toxicity is rare in healthy individuals. Copper is not known to have any clinically relevant interactions with medications.

Pea powder is a powder made by extracting protein and carbohydrate from yellow peas. Millet flour is a powdery substance made from ground millet, a grain in the grass family that is grown as a crop in many parts of the world.

Lentil flour is produced by grinding or milling lentils into a fine powder.

Chlorophyll is the green pigment in plant cells responsible for producing energy by way of photosynthesis when exposed to sunlight. When chlorophyll gets taken in a supplement form, it is known as chlorophyllin.
