1:1 Zinc methionine complex salts having the formula [CH3SCH2CH2CH(NH2)COO.Zn<++>]wX wherein X is an anion and w is an integer equal to the anionic charge of X. These are useful nutritional supplements, both for animals and humans, in that they provide a readily-available source of the zinc ions necessary for dietary balance and provide methionine, an essential amino acid, in a form which provides for body conversion of more of the methionine to protein than does the simple feeding of the compound methionine.
