Zinc gluconate CAS#4468-02-4
Effective Zinc Supplement: Addresses zinc deficiency symptoms like growth retardation, malnutrition, and acne, particularly for infants and pregnant women.
High Water Solubility: Easily dissolves in water (100g/L), ensuring efficient absorption.
Odorless and Tasteless: Makes it more acceptable in supplementation without affecting the taste.
Moderate Toxicity: Oral toxicity levels are relatively low (LD50 for female mice: 1.93 g/kg, male mice: 2.99 g/kg), ensuring safe use in recommended amounts.
Zinc gluconate is a zinc supplement primarily used to address zinc deficiency symptoms such as growth retardation, malnutrition, anorexia, recurrent oral ulcers, and acne, especially in infants and pregnant women. It appears as white particles or crystalline powder, which may contain up to three molecules of crystallization water, and is odorless and tasteless.
Zinc gluconate is highly soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol. Toxicity studies show that the oral LD50 for female mice is 1.93 g/kg, while for male mice it is 2.99 g/kg, indicating moderate toxicity levels.
