Date: January 25, 2007 01:59AM I don't think it matters much. Linus Pauling Institute had this to say about the different forms:
[lpi.oregonstate.edu] "A number of zinc supplements are available, including zinc acetate, zinc gluconate, zinc picolinate, and zinc sulfate. Zinc picolinate has been promoted as a more absorbable form of zinc, but there is little data to support this idea in humans. Limited work in animals suggests that increased intestinal absorption of zinc picolinate may be offset by increased elimination (4)." ref 4. is Food and Nutrition Board, Institute of Medicine. Zinc. Dietary reference intakes for vitamin A, vitamin K, boron, chromium, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, silicon, vanadium, and zinc. Washington D.C.: National Academy Press; 2001:442-501. (National Academy Press) [this is free online at [www.nap.edu] ] Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
