Bioavailability of zinc from zinc-histidine complexes. I. Comparison with zinc sulfate in healthy men

Abstract: Zinc supplementation is beneficial in some clinical conditions. Histidine has been shown to improve zinc absorption in animals. To test its influence on zinc absorption in humans, we studied the bioavailability of zinc from zinc-histidine complexes as compared to zinc sulfate in 10 healthy volunteers. Ingestion of zinc complexed with histidine at a ratio of 1:2 or 1:12 increased serum-zinc concentration 25% more than ingestion of zinc sulfate. Calculated uptake was 30-40% increased with zinc histidine over zin… Show more

“…Los resultados del presente estudio pueden responder a una menor absorción intestinal del sulfato de zinc al ser administrado con leche, dada la interacción entre el zinc y el calcio descrita en algunos estudios (4,31), situación que pudo no haber ocurrido con el zinc aminoquelado debido a su estructura, la cual favoreció su absorción al no ser interferida por el calcio de la leche ni por otros micronutrientes del producto lácteo (17,18,32,33).…”

“…A pesar de su seguridad y baja toxicidad, estos compuestos pueden desencadenar efectos secundarios como náuseas, vómitos y dolor abdominal (15)(16)(17), sin mencionar su sabor desagradable, por lo que es necesario buscar vehículos que enmascaren su sabor para administrarlo a niños.…”

“…13 sulfate, acetate, carbonate or oxide. 22,23 The solubility of these zinc salts in aqueous solution is variable; zinc carbonate and oxide are basically insoluble, having a much lower absorption. 24 In the present study, we used zinc bis-histidinate chelate, which consists of zinc bound to two histidine molecules as chelate.…”

“…Urinary excretion was not different with any preparation. Application of 15 mg zinc as zinc histidine complex (1:2) gave an identical serum response as 45 mg zinc sulphate suggesting that the zinc histidine complex was better absorbed and subsequently, more bioavailable than zinc sulphate (Schölmerich et al, 1987).…”
