Zinc Liquid

5ml once or twice daily with food. T J Clark’s catalysed zinc is the most advanced zinc supplement, providing zinc sulfate in a colloidal form with the addition of a mineral catalyst. Liquid zinc sulfate was first developed by Dr Bryce Smith for the treatment of anorexia, a condition whereby the ‘zinc blockade’ exists causing a defect in the mucosal absorption mechanisms dependent on zinc. T J Clark’s catalyzed zinc is recognised as the most reliable form of zinc to replenish zinc levels, regardless of an individual’s mucosal absorption ability. T J Clark’s catalyzed zinc is flavoured for optimal patient compliance and is one of the only liquid zinc supplement available through health stores. Product code: 755875000197 Cautions
Doses of zinc up to 40 milligrams daily are generally well tolerated. Higher doses may cause adverse reactions. The most common adverse reactions are gastrointestinal and include nausea, vomiting and gastrointestinal discomfort. Other adverse reactions include a metallic taste, headache and drowsiness. There are some reports of decreased HDL-cholesterol in those taking high doses of zinc. Chronic intake of high doses of zinc can lead to copper deficiency and hypochromic, macrocytic anaemia secondary to zinc-induced copper deficiency.
High doses of zinc may be immunosuppressive.
Zinc should be taken apart from high fibre foods for maximum absorption. Zinc does not appear to interact negatively with medication. Ingredients
