Natural Zinc Bisglycinate (Zinc): The Element of Repair and Resilience
Zinc doesn’t often make headlines, but it quietly governs some of the body’s most essential processes - healing, immunity, growth and repair. It’s a trace mineral with far-reaching impact, involved in hundreds of enzymatic reactions that keep your body in balance.
At NÆRE, we use Natural Zinc Bisglycinate, a highly bioavailable form that’s gentle on digestion and efficiently absorbed. Because it’s chelated to glycine, an amino acid, this form of zinc moves easily through the gut wall and into circulation - where it can actually do its work. The result is steady support for skin, immunity and cellular health without irritation or imbalance.
What is Zinc Bisglycinate?
Zinc Bisglycinate is zinc bound to two glycine molecules, forming a stable, easily absorbed compound. This structure mimics how nutrients are naturally transported in the body, improving absorption compared to standard zinc salts like zinc oxide or zinc sulfate.
In practical terms, it means your body gets more of what you take, no wasted effort, no unnecessary strain on the stomach and a consistent release of this vital mineral into the bloodstream.
01. Immunity and repair
Zinc is crucial for immune cell development and communication. It helps activate white blood cells, supports antibody production and regulates inflammation. A deficiency, even mild, can compromise the body’s ability to defend itself and recover.
It’s also central to the process of wound healing and tissue regeneration, making it a vital nutrient for repair. Whether it’s recovery after exercise, skin renewal or immune resilience, zinc is the mineral your body calls upon in moments of stress.
02. Skin clarity and strength
Zinc plays a direct role in skin integrity. It supports collagen formation, helps regulate oil production and assists in repairing the skin barrier. It’s often recommended for maintaining clear, calm skin because of its ability to manage inflammation and protect against oxidative stress.
When combined with antioxidants such as Vitamin E and Vitamin C in NÆRE, zinc helps form a defensive trio - protecting the skin at both the cellular and structural levels. The result is a complexion that’s not only healthier but more resilient to environmental stressors.
03. Cellular metabolism and energy
Every cell in the body uses zinc in some capacity. It supports DNA synthesis, protein production and enzyme activation. Processes that sustain growth, cognition and metabolic balance. It’s also essential for maintaining the structure of cell membranes, ensuring that energy production remains efficient and stable.
04. Nervous-system and hormonal balance
Zinc contributes to the stability of neurotransmitter systems and supports hormonal equilibrium. It’s involved in the synthesis of key brain chemicals that influence mood and focus and plays a role in reproductive and thyroid health. Subtle but significant, zinc’s balancing influence is one of the reasons it’s foundational to long-term vitality.
Why it’s in NÆRE
Zinc Bisglycinate embodies what we look for in an ingredient - bioavailable, effective and intelligent in how it interacts with the body.
We include it because it supports:
+ Immune system strength and response
+ Skin healing and barrier function
+ Antioxidant protection and collagen formation
+ Cellular energy and enzyme function
+ Hormonal and cognitive balance
True wellness isn’t built on volume, it’s built on function. Zinc works at the centre of it all, restoring, repairing and maintaining the systems that keep you strong from within.
