What are the features of Zinc Gluconate Chewable Tablets for Infants? and dosage?

Infant Zinc Gluconate Chewable Tablets are zinc gluconate tablets containing 6mg of zinc per tablet, with natural orange oil for good taste and easy acceptance by children. Children who are able to chew can take them, and children can melt the zinc tablets in water and drink them. Generally, take one tablet a day, but maybe increased or decreased according to individual needs.

Excessive daily intake of zinc (more than 45 mg) may prevent the absorption of divalent ions such as iron and copper, but one chewable zinc gluconate tablet of 6 mg is far less than 45 mg and is a very safe supplement according to the principle of micronutrient supplementation.

 

What are the symptoms of zinc deficiency in young children?

1. Delayed growth and development.

2. skin and hair abnormalities: dermatitis of the extremities, chronic eczema, acne, traumatic wounds from burns that do not heal easily.

3. thin yellow hair, lack of luster, nails not smooth, white spots, etc.

4. abnormal digestive function: zinc deficiency reduces phosphatase in saliva and taste buds function, so anorexia, paranoia, stomatitis, mouth ulcers, etc.

5. slow intellectual development.

6. Abnormal cellular and humoral immune functions, reduced resistance, and therefore susceptibility to infections, especially recurrent respiratory infections.

7. Xenophagia. Preferring to eat inedible things, such as dirt, matchsticks, cinders, confetti, etc.

 

Can I take zinc supplements if my baby is not zinc deficient? What will happen if I take too much zinc?

Of course, there is no need for supplementation if you are not deficient. However, data shows that infants between 4 months and 1 year of age are very prone to zinc deficiency because they are in a stage of rapid growth and development, but their digestive and absorption functions are relatively weak, and they are generally metabolically active and sweaty, especially in summer, which can easily lead to the loss of zinc and other trace elements. It has been determined that more than 3 mg of zinc can be lost per day through sweating, and children with diarrhea can lose up to 17 mg of zinc per day. If the baby is growing fast and has a poor appetite, it may cause a vicious circle.
