Z-Life™
Z-Life™, the zinc manufactured by Balchem is a reacted, nutritionally functional zinc amino acid chelate. As such, it is not handled in the gut in the same way as the typical zinc salt forms. Balchem’s zinc is absorbed intact and is not ionized.
Balchem’s totally reacted zinc amino acid chelates are a form of zinc that is best absorbed considering all the factors that are known to negatively impact zinc absorption.*
Z-Life™ is an excellent option for brands looking to provide Zinc health benefits with an exciting and more bioavailable form.
Dietary supplements that use this form of zinc have less dietary absorption interference and better relative absorption than other forms of zinc.

Zinc Max
Zinc Max is the newest zinc bisglycinate chelate innovation under the Z-life™ brand.
