Patient's question:
25 weeks trace element check shows severe zinc deficiency. I would like to ask a few questions. What medicine can I take to supplement zinc? Treatment history and effectiveness: No care. Assistance wanted: I want to ask what medicine can be used to supplement zinc.Doctor's answer:
It participates in the formation of proteins, fats, sugars, and nucleic acids in the body and is an activator for over 200 enzymes in human metabolism. During labor, the primary mechanism is the contraction of the uterus, and the activity of ATPase in uterine smooth muscle cells determines the zinc level in the mother's blood. Zinc deficiency can reduce uterine contraction ability, increase the mother's pain, and enhance bleeding.Recommendation: You can consume sufficient amounts of foods rich in zinc, such as oysters, nori, dried shrimp, beef, pork, lamb, animal liver, egg yolks, beans, sesame paste, peanuts, walnuts, and apples. Severe zinc deficiency can be addressed by taking zinc gluconate or zinc sulfate supplements.
