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.

I experienced severe urinary issues and diarrhoea after taking just one capsule daily for two weeks. This supplement contains nearly five times the recommended daily zinc intake for women. Please be cautious!

Routine zinc supplementation, especially above 40 mg daily, isn't recommended without professional advice. Side effects can include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and more. High doses may decrease copper absorption, leading to issues like anaemia. Be cautious with combinations and consult healthcare providers.

I opted for this well-regarded supplement but faced stomach discomfort and diarrhoea shortly after taking it. It seems the dosage may have been too much for my weight; I’ll try a lower amount next time.

Immunity improvement noted
I purchased it to boost my immunity during the pandemic and was pleasantly surprised by its benefits. Zinc aids enzymes and hormones and is often used for gastrointestinal disorders, particularly diarrhoea. I observed improvements and recommend consulting a doctor for guidance.

Indigestion noted
The product caused me nausea and diarrhoea. Initially, I didn’t connect the two, but upon reading about Picolint, I realised it was indeed causing these effects and decided to stop taking it.

I only take zinc when I’m ill. The dosage is massive, making it hard to determine its effectiveness. Large doses can result in vomiting and diarrhoea while causing long-term damage to immunity. Testing for zinc deficiency is crucial before usage.
