"Zinc bound to hydrolyzed protein for improved absorption."
A close cousin of zinc amino acid chelate — the mineral is bound to a protein fragment rather than a single amino acid, but the goal is the same: better gut absorption than a plain inorganic sulfate. Common in fresh and premium formulas as a more bioavailable mineral source.
