Zinc Amino Acid Complex (Chelate)



ProPath Zn 170 Performance Minerals (zinc amino acid complex) by Zinpro. Zinc is specially bonded (chelated) with amino acids to enhance absorption and assimilation. Zinc is critical to enzyme function for many of the body's major metabolic pathways. For example, it affects the development of cartilage, blood, bone, keratin, and mammary glands. Wound healing and oxygen transfer also rely on zinc.

Zinc is an essential element in a dog’s diet. It helps organs properly function in the immune system, reproductive system, and skin. Zinc deficiency causes chronic digestive issues, thyroid problems, and organ failure, and it mostly is commonly seen in Huskies, German Shepherds, and Malamutes.

Zinc exists in two forms synthetic (inorganic) and organic. Zinc Amino Acid Complex (Chelate) is organic zinc. This form of zinc is easily absorbed by a dog’s body due to its singular metal ion combined with an amino acid ion. 

Zinc Proteinate is a synthetic form of Zinc. Synthetic minerals are widely used in the pet market today, therefore it is important to inquire with the manufacturer specifically about the minerals used.
