- works as anti-inflammatory at many places at the body.

- works as anti-microbial in intestine.

- used effectively as adjuvant therapy in acne and other skin conditions.

you may take oral zinc preparations but make sure not to exceed the recommended dose, as zinc overdosage is harmful. the recommended dose is 12-16 mg/d and may increase up to 22 mg/d in pregnancy and lactation.

- make sure  not to take on an empty stomach as it may cause stomach upset like nausea or even vomiting (in some persons).
