Manufacturer statement
Doctor's Best’s own product page says the product is "100% Chelated" and links a "High Absorption Zinc Fact Sheet." The brand’s science/partners pages also say "every product is backed by research" and that Albion minerals are "scientifically proven" to be more easily absorbed. I did not find an independently verifiable third-party COA or a certifying-body registry entry for this exact product.
