Picolinic acid is a physiological factor of zinc absorption from the digestive tract. The authors determined the concentration of picolinic acid and zinc in human milk 2 to 8 days after labour. In none of 42 milk samples was the concentration of this acid was below 265 .mu.M and the range of values was small. No significant differences were found between the concentrations of picolinic acid in the milk of primiparae and multiparae.
