Which form of zinc is best?
I heard many recommend the picolinate form of zinc for kids on the spectrum. Is there a major difference between forms of zinc like say, picolinate vs. monomethionate? Why is one form better than another? Thanks.

Hi Missy,
Both forms are reported to be among the better absorbed zinc supplements.
In some kids picolinates may increase hyperactivity, while monomethionate should not.
Two other forms that we like to use in our supplements are Zinc Glycinate and Zinc Orotate.
