Zinc A.G.™ by Metagenics – Immune and Tissue Health Support
Zinc A.G.™ by Metagenics is a focused mineral formula providing 20 mg zinc in each tablet. It combines zinc with the amino acids arginine and glycine in forms designed for absorption and tolerability. This targeted approach supplies one essential mineral rather than a broad multivitamin blend, making it useful when a healthcare practitioner recommends additional zinc within an individualized nutrition plan. The same per-tablet formula is available in 60- and 180-tablet bottles.
Key Zinc A.G.™ Benefits
- Immune health support: Zinc helps maintain normal immune cell function and the cellular communication involved in a balanced immune response.*
- Tissue health support: This essential mineral participates in protein synthesis and normal cell division, fundamental processes for maintaining the body's tissues.*
- Energy metabolism support: Zinc contributes to enzyme activity involved in normal metabolism and bone mineralization. It also plays a nutritional role in male reproductive health.*
How Zinc A.G.™ Works
Zinc serves both structural and catalytic roles in the body: it helps proteins maintain their working shape and enables enzymes to carry out chemical reactions. Within immune cells, it also participates in signaling that helps coordinate normal cellular responses. Meeting zinc needs therefore supports everyday maintenance rather than acting as a stimulant. The goal is adequate intake matched to your nutritional needs, not simply taking the largest possible amount.*
Key Functional Ingredients Include:
- Zinc (as zinc arginate and zinc glycinate): These forms provide zinc associated with arginine and glycine. Zinc supports normal immune signaling and protein function; the amino acids are part of the mineral forms, not separately dosed amino-acid supplements.*
This amino acid chelated zinc formula is described as non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegetarian. Its simple ingredient profile can help you identify overlapping zinc sources when reviewing a supplement routine. Designed tolerability does not mean everyone will find it comfortable, so discuss digestive sensitivity and total daily zinc intake with your practitioner.
Zinc A.G.™ Is Formulated For
- Adults seeking a targeted zinc supplement to complement food sources when additional intake is appropriate.
- People whose practitioners recommend nutritional support for normal immune function, tissue maintenance, or zinc-dependent metabolic processes.*
- Those looking for a vegetarian zinc tablet with a clearly stated per-tablet amount, rather than a complex combination formula.

Frequently Asked Questions About Zinc A.G.™
What are the main benefits of Zinc A.G.™?
Zinc A.G.™ supplies zinc to support normal immune function, tissue health, and zinc-dependent enzyme activity. Zinc also contributes to protein synthesis and bone mineralization, so its role extends beyond immune support. Each tablet provides 20 mg of zinc as zinc arginate and zinc glycinate. This is a targeted mineral supplement, not a complete nutritional formula; the benefit of adding it depends in part on your existing diet and zinc intake.*
Who should consider Zinc A.G.™?
Adults whose healthcare practitioners recommend additional zinc may find this focused tablet useful. It offers a non-GMO, gluten-free, vegetarian option without adding a broad range of other vitamins and minerals. Review your diet, multivitamin, and any other zinc-containing products before starting. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, use in children, or an ongoing medical condition calls for individualized professional guidance rather than assuming this adult-oriented amount is appropriate for everyone. For personalized product-selection help, use our consultation option.
Can Zinc A.G.™ cause side effects or interact with medications?
Zinc can cause nausea or stomach upset, and excessive intake over time can interfere with copper balance. Two tablets provide 40 mg of zinc, the adult daily upper limit before counting food or other supplements; use that amount only with practitioner guidance. Zinc can also interact with certain antibiotics and penicillamine. Ask your pharmacist about dose separation, and contact your healthcare practitioner if symptoms develop. Keep the bottle out of the reach of children.
How does Zinc A.G.™ fit into an overall wellness routine?
Use Zinc A.G.™ as a targeted addition to a varied diet, not a replacement for meals or a complete multivitamin. Follow the stated directions and let your practitioner determine the appropriate frequency and duration, especially if you already take zinc elsewhere. The 60- and 180-tablet bottles provide the same 20 mg per tablet; choosing a larger bottle does not change the serving size. Regularly review your supplement routine as your dietary intake and health needs change.
