Pharmacology
Zinc Orotate is a chelated form of zinc, a mineral the body holds in trace amounts. Of all the elements the body needs, zinc is one of the most essential. Orotate is the mineral salt of orotic acid, a biochemical substance that every living cell makes. The body needs it as a raw material for building RNA and DNA, the genetic material.
Orotic acid helps zinc pass through the membranes of cells, so more zinc gets taken up inside the cell. Because zinc orotate is chelated, it has better bioavailability than other forms of zinc.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding
