Zinc Gluconate is a specific form of Zinc bound to Gluconic Acid, widely used in dietary supplements because of its good bioavailability and tolerability. Gluconate serves only as a vehicle: the Zinc is the active, but it must be bound to a compound to be bioavailable.

It is an essential trace element for many biological functions, including immune system support, wound healing, DNA synthesis, and carbohydrate metabolism.

Selenomethionine is the organic form of Selenium in which this essential trace element is bound to the amino acid Methionine. It is characterized by high bioavailability and is easily incorporated into the body's proteins in place of Methionine. It is mainly used as a source of Selenium in dietary supplements.
