What is Chelated Zinc?

Chelated Zinc is an over-the-counter dietary supplement that contains a chelated form of zinc, in which zinc is attached to organic molecules, such as amino acids or organic acids, so that two to three times more of the ingested zinc is absorbed into the body. Chelated Zinc is sold separately as a dietary supplement or in combination with other minerals, particularly magnesium.

Zinc is a trace mineral found and used throughout the body. In particular, the healthy functioning of the immune system depends on zinc. Chelated Zinc is also used in the processes that convert carbohydrates to energy and is involved in many other processes of cell functioning and tissue growth.

Chelated Zinc deficiency can be a serious condition. The immune system does not function well, leading to a higher risk of infection. In children, zinc deficiency will stunt growth and delay development. Chelated Zinc is advised or prescribed as a supplement to patients with or at risk for zinc deficiency. Because of zinc's role in immune system function, Chelated Zinc can also help people with low-level infections, such as colds. Few supplements sell their products as chelated zinc or use that name in the active ingredients. Most sell their products as zinc and use the specific chemical name in their list of active ingredients; zinc gluconate, zinc picolinate, zinc glycinate, zinc methionine, zinc aspartate, zinc monomethionine, zinc acetate, and zinc lysinate are all zinc chelates.

What are the side effects of Chelated Zinc?

Chelated Zinc may produce side effects, especially if too much is taken, including stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, a bad taste in the mouth, and diarrhea. Always take supplements as directed.

Chelated Zinc is a normal part of the diet and is found in most foods, so allergic reactions are extremely rare. However, Chelated Zinc supplements often contain other active or inactive ingredients, which may cause allergic reactions. These side effects include itching, rash, hives, and trouble breathing. If you have any reaction to Chelated Zinc supplements, discontinue using the supplement and talk with your physician about alternatives.
