We explored how zinc oxide (ZnO), often used as a feed additive, affects diarrhea and gut health in piglets infected with the ETEC K88 strain. Through careful observation, we found that piglets suffering from this infection exhibited significantly increased fecal scores compared to those not affected. The ETEC K88 strain harms the small intestine, leading to a loss of villus height and a decrease in important antioxidant activities.
Our findings revealed that ZnO administration counteracts these negative effects effectively. It not only improved the overall health of the intestine but also enhanced its ability to combat oxidative stress. We also observed a balanced restoration of gut microbiota, as ZnO helped normalize the populations of certain beneficial bacteria altered by the infection.
In summary, our study indicates that ZnO can play a vital role in easing diarrhea in piglets infected with ETEC K88 by reducing intestinal damage, supporting antioxidative defenses, and restoring healthy gut flora.

Was good for a few days, then it made me feel unwell. I took this daily for about 3 days on an empty stomach and felt fine. However, on Day 4, I was severely ill. I experienced sweating, nausea, diarrhoea, and even vomited. I usually have a strong stomach and rarely get sick. This experience was terrible, and I felt awful for the remainder of the day. Ultimately, I won't be taking these any longer. I'm quite disappointed.

Stops any wave of diarrhoea and vomiting instantly. Just open the capsule and mix a small amount with juice or milk, whether for myself or children.

Boosts appetite
Zinc is rich in minerals and regulates immune responses, being essential for body growth and maintenance. It is said to aid appetite, helping through the intense summer heat. I take one tablet nightly and have not experienced diarrhoea. I think it’s wise for those concerned to test every other day; it’s a small capsule, easy to swallow.

Better than alternatives
For those dissatisfied with carnosine zinc, I have a protein deficiency, and while I still had diarrhoea with this product, it appeared to work better than zinc carnosine, so I would recommend it.
