Zinc Citrate

Drug Details

Zinc citrate is a form of zinc combined with citric acid, known for its high bioavailability, meaning the body can absorb it efficiently. This essential mineral supports numerous bodily functions, including immune system health, wound healing, and maintaining healthy skin. Zinc citrate is commonly found in dietary supplements and oral care products like toothpaste and mouthwash due to its antimicrobial properties. It is generally well-tolerated, but excessive intake may lead to side effects such as nausea or interfere with the absorption of other minerals like copper. Therefore, it's important to adhere to recommended dosages and consult a healthcare professional before starting supplementation.
