What is the difference between zinc gluconate and zinc picolinate?

Zinc picolonlinate is a form of zinc that has been chelated to picolinic amino acids. In other words, each molecule packs more concentrations of zinc via a process of attaching the mineral to something else, in this case picolinic amino acids. Its believed that this helps the body absorb the Zinc better. Zinc gluconate his process essentially ferments glucose, offering a supplemental product with an extremely long shelf-life. Unfortunately, gluconate supplements are just a chemical substitute for actual zinc. The body absorbs very little of this processed form, as the bio-availability of these chemicals is virtually none.

I'm far from being a doctor or vet to answer that question but google stated: Zinc Picolinate - A form of zinc that has been chelated to picolinic amino acids. Zinc Gluconate - One of the most popular forms of dietary zinc, zinc gluconates are created by a process of industrial manufacturing. This process essentially ferments glucose, offering a supplemental product with an extremely long shelf-life. Unfortunately, gluconate supplements are just a chemical substitute for actual zinc. Sadly, the body absorbs very little of this processed form, as the bio-availability of these chemicals is virtually none. Furthermore I was told by my vet Zinc Gluconate is the only type of zinc sources that is safe to buy over the counter supplements for your dog if you use the appropriate weight by mg measurements. I personally use this brand as a Zinc regiment for my g. sheps. Just make sure that you use the right amount and feed it with food because if you don't it will disrupt their stomach acid and cause them to spit it up with bile in their stomach.

No. Glucono delta lactone is also known as gdl. I used gdl made by pfizer for several years until pfizer stopped making it. It is used in baking and wines.It gives a superior tofu than gypsum. Btw, the gypsum I got was the garden variety. I do not know why people were talking tofu for the particular gypsum type in the reviews. There was a mix- up somewhere. I finally the food grade gypsum from another seller and I have no complains about it.

I don't know what ultra zinc is but it is shiny like chrome and more durable. I have had one of these units in my garage for over a year and it looks as shiny as when I purchased it. I also purchased 1 for my church's kitchen and it is not always treated well. Still shiny with no scratches or chips.

Hi Ssamantha, The supplemental Facts on the bottle says: Zinc (as Zinc Gluconate) It does not say anywhere that is is chelated. I hope that helps! Deborah

Not sure the difference, but I have been using the pure absorbic acid in my diy face creams, and have been very satisfied with this product. Will purchase again.

I don't know but it doesn't matter to me. I was using zinc added fixodent twice a day on my lowers. Now I use cushion grip, I use alot and don't bite down too hard when applying. I then use three small strips of non-zinc polygrip once a day on my lowers. Stay in all day. I don't use cushion grip on my uppers. When removing cushion grip soak in hot water for about 20 minutes, changing the water after 10 minutes. Then I use long handle tweezers to pull it out. Great. Reordered a 3 pack and will never be without it. Love it zinc or not

Magnesium Citrate is absorbed much better. I actually switched to this Magnesium Citrate Zahler Magnesium Citrate, All Natural Supplement with Maximum Absorption, Helps Maintain Normal Muscle and Nerve Function, Certified Kosher, 200mg, 60 Capsules and I'm seeing amazing results.

The gold version is sweetened with xylitol and has a superiors and microflora component. For the price difference I prefer the gold.As far as dyes I believe both products are colored with juice extracts.

I would go with the target mins. The form of zinc (gluconate) in the chelated form has low bioavailability, while the mixed forms in the target mins, especially citrate and picolinate, are more absorbable.
