What is Zinc Gluconate?   

Zinc gluconate, with the chemical formula C12H22O14Zn, is the zinc salt of gluconic acid. It is a white crystalline or granular powder at room temperature, odorless, with a slightly astringent taste. It is extremely soluble in boiling water and readily dissolves in water. Zinc gluconate is an organic zinc supplement with minimal irritation to the gastric mucosa. It is easily absorbed by the body with a high absorption rate and good solubility. It is widely used in health products, pharmaceuticals, and food.

Feature

Highly Effective Zinc Supplement: Zinc gluconate is a highly bioavailable organic zinc supplement. Its zinc ions (Zn²⁺) are efficiently absorbed in the small intestine through active transport and passive diffusion. As a cofactor for over 200 metalloenzymes, it directly participates in core life activities such as cell division, protein synthesis, and nucleic acid metabolism.

Enhancing Immune Function: Zinc is a key factor in the development and maturation of thymosin and immune cells, promoting T lymphocyte proliferation and differentiation, and enhancing natural killer cell activity. It maintains the integrity of the skin and mucous membrane barriers, inhibits viral replication, regulates the release of inflammatory factors, and builds a multi-layered immune defense.

Promoting Growth, Development, and Repair: Zinc participates in growth hormone synthesis and collagen formation, which is crucial for children's height, intellectual development, and wound healing. It maintains taste bud cell renewal, ensuring taste sensitivity and appetite, and has an improving effect on anorexia and pica in children.

Antioxidant and Reproductive Health: As a component of superoxide dismutase, it scavenge free radicals and protects cell membrane structure. Zinc participates in the synthesis of sex hormones, maintaining sperm motility, egg quality

Applications

Nutritional Fortification and Dietary Supplementation: Added as a nutritional fortifier to milk powder, cereals, beverages, and other foods to prevent population-wide zinc deficiency. Formulated as oral solutions, tablets, and other supplements for the treatment of zinc deficiency and daily supplementation for high-risk groups (pregnant women, infants, vegetarians).

Improving Specific Conditions: Used to treat zinc deficiency-related recurrent oral ulcers, acne, and chronic diarrhea, accelerating ulcer healing and intestinal repair. Improves growth retardation, loss of appetite, and pica in children, enhancing taste sensitivity.

Special Medical Uses: As a WHO-recommended component of oral rehydration salts, used for the treatment of acute diarrhea, shortening the course of illness and reducing mortality. Used for nutritional support in burn and postoperative patients, promoting tissue repair and immune recovery.

Daily Chemicals and Animal Health: Added to toothpaste, mouthwash, and acne skincare products, exerting anti-inflammatory and astringent effects. Used as a feed additive to prevent zinc deficiency in livestock and poultry, improving reproductive performance and disease resistance.

Product Parameters

For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
