Feature

Promoting Growth, Development, and Tissue Repair: Zinc citrate is a highly efficient organic carrier of zinc. Zinc, as an essential cofactor for over 200 metalloenzymes such as DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase, directly participates in cell division, protein synthesis, and tissue regeneration. It promotes normal height and intellectual development in children, accelerates wound and ulcer healing, and maintains the integrity of skin and mucous membranes.

Maintaining Normal Immune System Function: Zinc is crucial for the development of immune organs (thymus, spleen) and the differentiation and maturation of immune cells (T cells, natural killer cells). Deficiency leads to a decrease in lymphocyte count and function. It maintains the skin and mucous membrane barrier, inhibits viral replication, and acts as an antioxidant to reduce inflammation, enhancing the body's defense capabilities on multiple levels.

Ensuring Taste and Appetite: Zinc is a component of gustin (a zinc-containing protein), essential for maintaining the structure and function of taste buds. Zinc deficiency leads to dulled taste and decreased appetite. Zinc citrate supplementation can quickly improve taste sensitivity and stimulate appetite, especially for picky eaters in children and those with poor appetite in the elderly.

Antioxidant and reproductive health maintenance: Zinc, as a component of superoxide dismutase, can scavenge free radicals and protect cell membranes from oxidative damage. It participates in the synthesis and secretion of sex hormones, playing a vital role in maintaining sperm motility, egg development

Applications

Fortification and Dietary Supplementation:Added as a fortifier to foods such as cereals, milk powder, and beverages to prevent herd-wide zinc deficiency, especially suitable for children, pregnant women, and the elderly. Formulated as zinc supplements (tablets, oral solutions, etc.) for the treatment of zinc deficiency or for daily prevention in high-risk groups (such as those with diarrhea, vegetarians, and athletes).

Improvement of Specific Health Problems: Used to treat recurrent oral ulcers, acne, and delayed wound healing associated with zinc deficiency, often as a topical preparation or oral supplement. Used to improve loss of appetite, pica (such as nail-biting or soil-biting), and growth retardation in children caused by zinc deficiency.

Adjunctive Therapy and Special Foods:As an adjunct to oral rehydration salts for diarrhea (especially in children), zinc can shorten the course of illness and reduce the risk of recurrence. In special medical purpose foods for patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes and kidney disease, it is used to correct zinc loss caused by metabolic abnormalities.

Personal Care and Animal Nutrition:Added as an anti-inflammatory and astringent ingredient in toothpaste, mouthwash, and acne skincare products. As a feed additive, it can prevent zinc deficiency in livestock and poultry, promote growth, and improve 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
