b) Description:
Zinc is an essential trace element necessary for normal human functioning. It serves as an
enzyme cofactor and protects cell membranes from lysis caused by complement activation
and toxin release. Zinc is not stored in the body; therefore, dietary intake is required. Meat
and seafood are rich in zinc. The role of zinc in human health and functioning has primarily
focused on dietary supplementation for the promotion of health and disease prevention.
e) Contraindications:
Large doses of zinc canlower blood sugar in people with diabetes.High doses above the
recommendedamounts might cause fever, coughing,stomach pain, fatigue.
f) Precautions:
Not found

Estimations indicate that 82% of pregnant women worldwide are likely to have inadequate
zinc intakes. Poor maternal zinc nutritional status has been associated with a number of
adverse outcomes of pregnancy, including low birth weight, premature delivery, labor and
delivery complications, and congential anomalies. However, the results of maternal zinc
supplementation trials in the U.S. and developing countries have been mixed. Although some
studies have found maternal zinc supplementation increases birth weight and decreases the
likelihood of premature delivery, two placebo-controlled studies in Peruvian and Bangladeshi
women found that zinc supplementation did not affect the incidence of low birth weight or
premature delivery. Supplementation studies designed to examine the effect of zinc
supplementation on labor and delivery complications have also generated mixed results,
though few have been conducted in zinc-deficient populations. A recent systematic review of
17 randomized controlled trials found that zinc supplementation during pregnancy was
associated with a 14% reduction in premature deliveries; the lower incidence of preterm births
was observed mainly in low-income women. This analysis, however, did not find zinc
supplementation to benefit other indicators of maternal or infant health.

confusion,euphoria, hallucinations, impairedmemory, anxiety, restlessness, urinaryretention,
blurred vision, and rash.Angle-closure glaucoma may occur very rarely.
