Zinc insulin alleviates hives
Chronic urticaria from isophane insulin therapy; sensitivity associated with noninsulin components in commercial preparations.
Directly relates to zinc effectiveness
We observed a fascinating case of a young woman with diabetes who experienced chronic hives after switching her insulin type. Initially, she moved from a standard isophane insulin to a beef-pork version, which then triggered her hives. Even after she returned to her original insulin, the hives continued to be a problem.
During her hospital stay, we noted that her hives reappeared daily after insulin injections. This situation changed when we introduced a purer form of insulin called zinc single-peak beef insulin suspension. Surprisingly, the urticaria cleared up quickly after this switch.
Through skin testing, we discovered her sensitivity was primarily to the beef and pork forms of the isophane insulin. However, she showed no sensitivity to the zinc insulin forms. Although she did experience a brief return of the hives after taking antibiotics, this time they did not reappear at the insulin injection sites.
This case provides valuable insight into how certain insulin components can lead to hives, and how switching to a zinc preparation offered the young woman some relief.

Hives significantly improved
Fantastic for heavy metal detoxes. With my doctor's guidance, I began taking Zinc Picolinate for hives and other issues. Gradually increasing from one tablet to five per day, I noticed a clear reduction in my hives within two weeks. After struggling with this problem for years, I am thrilled that there is now no sign of them on my skin. I highly recommend consulting a doctor for individual advice while sharing my positive experience with this form of Zinc.
