Zincday (20Mg) 60Ml Syrup

Overview

Zincday 20mg 60ml Syrup is a zinc-containing oral syrup intended to help maintain or restore adequate zinc intake when supplementation is recommended by a healthcare professional. Zinc is an essential trace mineral required in small amounts for normal growth, immune function, wound healing, taste, appetite, skin integrity and many enzyme-based processes in the body. The syrup format may be preferred for children or for people who have difficulty swallowing tablets, but it should be used only according to professional advice or the directions on the product label.

This product is best understood as a mineral supplement rather than a general personal-care product. It should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet, medical assessment or treatment of an underlying illness. The exact daily dose, duration and suitability depend on age, body weight, dietary intake, symptoms, medical condition and any other medicines or supplements being used.
