ZINC ORIGIN 20 MG 20 TAB

ZINC ORIGIN 20 MG 20 TAB

Description:

Zinc Origin 20 mg 20 dispersible tablets is a zinc supplement formulated to help prevent and treat zinc deficiency and support overall immune and metabolic health. Each tablet contains zinc gluconate equivalent to 20 mg elemental zinc, providing an essential trace mineral that plays a critical role in enzyme function, wound healing, skin health, growth, and immune defense. The dispersible tablet form allows it to be dissolved in water or taken directly in the mouth, making it suitable for adults and older children who prefer an easy-to-take supplement.

Indications:

• Treatment and prevention of zinc deficiency states.
• Supportive therapy in delayed wound healing and post-surgical recovery.
• Adjunctive support in chronic skin ulcers and delayed skin repair.
• Adjunct to acne vulgaris management as recommended by a healthcare professional.
• Support in conditions associated with hair loss (alopecia) related to zinc deficiency.
• Support of normal growth and development in individuals with inadequate dietary zinc intake (under medical supervision).
• General immune support and enhancement of resistance to infections in people with low zinc levels.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Zinc gluconate – providing 20 mg elemental zinc per dispersible tablet.
• Other excipients: full excipient list is not available in the provided information. Please refer to the product pack insert for complete inactive ingredients.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Adults: Unless otherwise directed by a physician, a common dose is 1 tablet once daily, preferably after food to minimize gastric discomfort. Exact dosing should follow the prescribing doctor’s instructions or the package insert.
• Children: Use only under medical supervision. The dose and duration should be determined by a pediatrician according to age, weight, and degree of deficiency.
• Method of administration: Disperse the tablet in a small amount of water, stir until fully dissolved, then drink immediately. Alternatively, the tablet may be allowed to dissolve in the mouth and swallowed.
• Duration of use: The duration of therapy depends on the severity of zinc deficiency or the clinical condition and should be determined by a healthcare professional.
• With or without food: It may be taken with or after meals. Taking with food may reduce stomach upset, but high-phytate foods (e.g., whole grains, bran) can reduce zinc absorption.
• Do not exceed the recommended dose unless advised by your doctor or pharmacist.

Clinical Benefits:

• Supports immune system function by acting as a cofactor for multiple enzymes involved in immune response.
• Promotes wound healing and tissue repair, beneficial in chronic ulcers and post-surgical recovery.
• Helps maintain healthy skin, potentially improving acne and other zinc-deficiency–related skin conditions.
• Supports normal hair growth and may help reduce hair loss associated with zinc deficiency.
• Contributes to normal growth and development, especially in individuals with inadequate dietary intake.
• Helps maintain normal senses of taste and smell and supports normal metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Do not use this product if you are allergic to zinc gluconate or any of the other ingredients in the formulation.
• Prolonged high-dose zinc supplementation may lead to copper deficiency, anemia, or other mineral imbalances; use only as directed by a healthcare professional.
• Use with caution in patients with kidney impairment or those on long-term parenteral nutrition; medical supervision is required.
• Consult your doctor before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking other medications or supplements (especially other zinc-containing products, iron, copper, or antibiotics such as quinolones or tetracyclines), or have any chronic medical conditions.
• Separate administration from certain antibiotics (e.g., quinolones, tetracyclines) by at least 2–3 hours, as zinc may reduce their absorption.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
• Keep out of reach of children. Accidental overdose may be harmful.
• If symptoms persist, worsen, or new symptoms appear, stop use and consult a healthcare professional.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include mild gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea, stomach upset, abdominal pain, or diarrhea, especially if taken on an empty stomach.
• Less common side effects may include metallic taste, vomiting, or headache.
• Long-term excessive intake of zinc can cause copper deficiency, anemia, decreased immune function, or changes in lipid profile.
