ZincXRBisglycinate · controlled release
An essential mineral your body can neither produce nor store in large amounts. One capsule a day, in its controlled-release bisglycinate form, to support your immune system, your skin and your hair.
Why Order Zinc XR is different.
In an immediate-release capsule, zinc is released almost all at once. Order Zinc XR uses zinc bisglycinate pellets with a controlled-release matrix that spreads that release over several hours.
Gradual release
The pellets release zinc progressively: 12% at 1 hour, 44% at 4 hours and 87% at 8 hours (lab test).
One dose a day
17 mg of zinc in a single daily capsule, with no need to split the dose.
At the pace of absorption
The intestine absorbs zinc through transporters with limited capacity: gradual release spreads the dose over time instead of concentrating it.
Zinc bisglycinate
Zinc bound to two molecules of an amino acid (a chelate), a form widely used in supplementation.
Designed to take with a meal
One capsule a day with a meal and water, as part of your routine.
Controlled profile
The release profile is defined by a dissolution specification at 1, 4 and 8 hours.
Gradual release
The pellets’ matrix regulates how the zinc dissolves, so it isn’t all released at once as soon as the capsule opens.
One capsule a day
The release extends over several hours within a single daily dose.

Zinc in its
controlled-release bisglycinate form.
In bisglycinate, each zinc atom is bound to two molecules of glycine, an amino acid. This structure is called a chelate: the mineral travels “escorted” by the amino acid instead of as a loose salt.
Chelated form
Bisglycinate is one of the most studied forms of zinc in supplementation, chosen for its stability and bioavailability.
Controlled release
Pellets with an ethylcellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose matrix that release zinc gradually. See how →
Just one dose
17 mg of zinc in one daily capsule, taken with a meal. No powders, no mixing.
Information about the bisglycinate form is based on published literature on the ingredient, not on studies of Order’s finished product.
XR: zinc released gradually, not all at once.
Each capsule contains zinc bisglycinate pellets with an ethylcellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose matrix that regulates how the mineral dissolves. Instead of releasing the whole dose as soon as the capsule opens, zinc is released gradually over several hours.
In step with absorption
The gut absorbs zinc through transporters with limited capacity: when a lot of zinc arrives at once, the proportion taken up tends to be lower. Gradual delivery is designed to keep pace with that rhythm.
Not all at once
A concentrated burst of zinc can feel heavy for some people, especially on an empty stomach. That’s why it’s taken with a meal, and the XR formula spreads the release over time.
One capsule a day
Release extends over several hours within a single daily dose.
How the zinc is released
| Time | Specification | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 h | ≤30% | 12% |
| 4 h | 40–60% | 44% |
| 8 h | ≥75% | 87% |

What is zinc bisglycinate?+
It is the form of zinc used by Order, in controlled release: each zinc atom is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine (a “chelate”). It is a widely used form of zinc in supplementation; for example, a study published in 2007 (Gandia et al., International Journal for Vitamin and Nutrition Research) compared its bioavailability with zinc gluconate. This is information about the ingredient, not a study of Order’s finished product.
What does “XR” mean?+
XR stands for controlled, extended release. The pellets have an ethylcellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose matrix that releases zinc gradually: in the lab dissolution test, less than 30% is released in the first hour and more than 75% by 8 hours.
When and how do I take it?+
1 capsule a day, with plenty of water and together with a meal. Take it according to the daily intake recommendation on the label.
Isn’t 243% of the daily value a lot?+
The %DV uses the daily value for zinc in a 2,000 kcal diet as its reference. Each capsule provides 17 mg. It is important to stick to the stated dose (1 capsule a day) and not combine it with other zinc supplements without consulting a professional.
Can I take it with other supplements?+
If you already take multivitamins or other minerals (such as iron or calcium), check with your doctor and/or nutritionist to plan your routine.
Is it vegan?+
No. The capsule is made of gelatin, which is of animal origin.
How long does a bottle last?+
Each bottle contains 60 capsules: at 1 capsule a day, it lasts two months.
