The form of zinc in Zinc 30 by PE is zinc picolinate. I have noticed a very potent effect from this brand. It could possibly be a little too strong for some people, so try different brands to determine which one fits you best. I like Solgar's zinc picolinate, but it seems less potent than the PE. I am going to try Kal's Tri-Zinc 50, which has zinc picolinate as well as amino acid chelates. I've determined that I need at least 44-50mg of zinc per day. Someone who needs less might try the PE brand, but like I said, it seems to me to be very potent. It's a good zinc supplement, pharmaceutical grade. I tried taking 60mg of the PE, and wow, it was way too much. I felt lethargic and rather depressed the whole day. The Solgar brand doesn't do this to me probably because it has less bioavailability than the PE brand. It's trial and error. Use what works the best for you.
