Pïdo-zinc

Action mechanism

Pido-Zinc® is an innovative product that allows optimal absorption and bioavailability of zinc thanks to its complementarity with pyrrolidone carboxylic acid (PCA), an organic anion naturally present in the body. PCA acts as a precursor of amino acids such as proline and arginine, thus facilitating cellular penetration and transport of zinc. Amino acids complexed with zinc are considered the best candidates for the intestinal absorption of zinc, and Pido-Zinc® offers exceptional bioavailability thanks to its structural characteristics which are essential for its physiological function.
In terms of nutraceutical performance, Pido-Zinc® exhibits improved absorption compared to unbound zinc. In terms of nutricosmetic performance, it is also anti-seborrheic due to its action inhibiting the activity of 5α reductase.
As a supplier of nutraceuticals and pharmaceuticals, offer your customers Pido-Zinc® for optimal zinc absorption and bioavailability. This innovative product can improve their general well-being and help maintain their health at an optimal level.
