Zinc supplementation might be beneficial to improve immunity during viral infections 1

Zinc supplementation in children

  • Greater improvement in respiratory rate & oxygen saturation in pneumonia 1
  • >2-fold fewer episodes of acute & severe LRTI 2
  • Increased cytokine response in Th1 pattern (IL-2 & IFN-γ) in pneumonia 1
  • Significantly shorter recovery time of respiratory morbidity in LRTI 2

Zinc supplementation in adults/elderly

  • Mitigates age-related changes in immune function 3
  • Increases humoral response after influenza vaccination #1
  • Significantly decreases TNF-α and oxidative stress markers 4
  • 5-fold lower incidences of RTIs vs. placebo during 12 months of supplementation 4

For the use of a Registered Medical Practitioner or a Hospital or a Laboratory use only.
