Zinc oxide mitigates diarrhea impacts
Zinc Oxide Administration Relieves the Diarrhea of ETEC K88-Infected Piglets by Reducing Ileal Apoptosis and Maintaining Gut Microbial Balance.
Directly addresses zinc's effects
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.

Bad combination
I had a terrible experience with this supplement. It caused severe diarrhoea when taken in high doses; I believe combining copper and zinc in one tablet isn’t advisable.

Stomach pain caution
I do not advise taking zinc on an empty stomach as it raised my temperature and caused severe stomach pain and diarrhoea. After eating, I experienced no adverse symptoms.

Stomach issues
Taking zinc on an empty stomach resulted in a strong stomach ache and diarrhoea. I would not recommend it in that manner.

Immunity boost
Excellent zinc composition! Chelated zinc can be combined with copper, and it helps immensely during viruses. To strengthen immunity against colds, I recommend taking 30 mg of zinc and vitamin C every two hours. However, be cautious with high doses; zinc should be taken separately from carotenoids and iron.

Immune support benefits
Zinc is vital for many bodily functions, including immune system support. Low levels increase infection risks, and it may help with diarrhoea, especially in malnourished children. It’s beneficial for sexual health too and helps in memory and cognitive functions.

Hair loss help
I purchased this for hair loss and slight diarrhoea, but it has helped a bit. However, I experienced some heartburn.

Boosted immune health
Working wonders for the immune system. My husband is a corrections officer and diabetic, meaning his immune system doesn't function as well as it should. Working in a detention centre, he is constantly exposed to illnesses, and I have worried about his COVID exposure. After a diagnosis of influenza A in July, I began researching zinc supplements to boost his immune system. Since starting Jarrows in late July, he hasn't fallen ill once, even after working in the COVID unit. I reorder regularly as both of us take it daily. The zinc helps his immune system significantly, but vitamin C and D3 are beneficial too. However, please take this with food; otherwise, I experience nausea and diarrhea, which are quite terrible. When I take it with food, I have no stomach issues. The capsule is small and easy to swallow.

Good for course use
This zinc is effective for a course, given its importance as a cofactor for over 300 enzymes. Deficiency symptoms include hair loss and decreased immunity. I've taken this zinc before, and it contains copper to prevent deficiency. When I need urgent immunity support, I use higher doses.
