Routine zinc supplementation is not recommended without the advice of a healthcare professional. In some people, zinc might cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, metallic taste, kidney and stomach damage, and other side effects. Using zinc on broken skin may cause burning, stinging, itching, and tingling.
If you do not have enough zinc in your body, you may experience adverse side effects like slow wound healing, impaired immune system, loss of appetite or loss of taste sensation. Having trouble getting enough zinc in your daily diet may cause your physician to suggest zinc supplementation.
