Zinc treatment reduces nausea risk
Randomized, multicenter, active-controlled open-label study of NPC-25, zinc histidine hydrate, (non-inferiority to NOBELZIN™, zinc acetate dihydrate) for patients with hypozincemia.
Moderate relevance to nausea aspect
We conducted a study to evaluate how effective NPC-25, a new form of zinc, is compared to a well-known treatment, NOBELZIN™, for patients with low zinc levels. Participants in this trial had their zinc levels checked and were grouped to receive either NPC-25 or NOBELZIN™.

For a period of up to 24 weeks, we aimed to maintain their zinc levels within a specific target range while closely monitoring for side effects. One of our main goals was to see if NPC-25 could maintain these target zinc levels similarly to NOBELZIN™.

Our findings revealed that NPC-25 was indeed non-inferior to NOBELZIN™, meaning it worked just as well. Importantly, we also observed that those taking NPC-25 reported fewer digestive issues, like nausea and vomiting. This suggests that while both treatments were effective, NPC-25 might be the gentler option.

Zinc treatment in hypozincemia study
Post-marketing surveillance of zinc acetate dihydrate for hypozincemia in Japan.
Limited insight on nausea specifically
We explored the impact of zinc acetate dihydrate on several symptoms, including nausea, through a comprehensive study that assessed its safety and effectiveness for treating hypozincemia over a 52-week period. From the data collected, we observed an overall adverse reaction rate of 9.4%, with nausea reported in 1.4% of patients.

Despite nausea being a concern, the benefit of zinc acetate dihydrate for other indications was notable, with an efficacy rate of 83%. For patients experiencing symptoms such as pressure ulcers or stomatitis, the effectiveness was strikingly high. However, the specific effect of zinc on nausea is not definitively isolated within the study results, making it hard to gauge its direct and unique benefits.

In essence, while zinc acetate dihydrate shows promise for a variety of symptoms, including nausea, the evidence does not conclusively highlight its effectiveness for this particular issue on its own. Overall, it appears that zinc treatment can contribute positively to addressing several related health problems.

Zinc affects post-op nausea minimally
Comparing the Effect of Zinc-impregnated Pharyngeal Packs with Conventional Methods on the Level of Sore Throat Among Patients Undergoing Septorhinoplasty.
Relevant but limited impact
We explored the effectiveness of zinc-impregnated pharyngeal packs in reducing post-operative nausea and sore throat among patients undergoing septorhinoplasty. In this study, we divided 220 patients into four groups, each receiving different types of pharyngeal packs: normal saline-impregnated vibril, normal saline-impregnated gauze, zinc solution-impregnated vibril, and zinc solution-impregnated gauze.

Our findings revealed that there was no significant difference between the groups regarding the occurrence of sore throat shortly after surgery and at various intervals thereafter. However, we did observe that those using zinc solution-impregnated gauze experienced significantly less severity of nausea two hours post-surgery compared to those using normal saline-impregnated gauze. Ultimately, while zinc did not help with sore throat, it showed promise in alleviating nausea.

No nausea experienced
The only zinc supplement that doesn’t make me feel nauseous. Every other zinc supplement I’ve tried causes nausea to the point of vomiting if I take a typical 15mg dose, regardless of food intake. I might be particularly sensitive to zinc? This one is dosed at twice that, and I’ve encountered no issues whatsoever! I usually take it with food for safety, but with my past experiences, I can confidently say that this one excels for those who suffer from zinc-induced nausea.

Nausea on consumption
I ordered zinc for acne, but I suffered from nausea shortly after taking it, even before I noticed any effect. Those with weak stomachs should be cautious and perhaps take it after eating.

Zinc's tolerability in diarrhoea treatment
New formulation zinc sulphate acceptability and adherence in children with acute diarrhoea: A prospective, open-label, interventional study in Bangladesh.
Explores nausea related to zinc
We aimed to understand how zinc tablets, often recommended for treating diarrhoea in young children, affect nausea and overall treatment adherence. In this open-label study, we involved children aged 3 to 59 months who visited the outpatient department at Dhaka Hospital.

Our findings revealed that a significant number of children, about 92.7%, tolerated the modified zinc tablets well. However, we also noted that 32.8% of the children experienced vomiting, and 19.5% had regurgitation, while a smaller number, 7.4%, reported nausea. Interestingly, despite these side effects, a remarkable 99.3% of caregivers expressed their willingness to continue using this zinc formulation in the future.

Overall, while our study demonstrated that the modified zinc formulation was generally well-tolerated, we cannot overlook the considerable instances of nausea and vomiting experienced by the children. Balancing these side effects with the willingness of caregivers offers a complex view of zinc's role in diarrhoea management.

This soft gel is easy to swallow. While previous supplements caused nausea due to high dosage, this 30 mg is manageable. Zinc is known for its benefits against coronavirus, but remember to pair it with quercetin!

I was previously prone to nausea from zinc supplements, but this one is gentle and aids anti-aging. It's slightly large, but the soft gel makes it easy to consume. My husband and I take it daily.
