Combination caution signals

! CopperSerum copper levels significantly decreased after zinc supplementation, suggesting a potential interaction that may lead to copper deficiency.

Combinations studied together

The group showed a positive signal, but individual contributions are hard to isolate. Not a stack recommendation.

+MagnesiumIn patients with T2DM and CHD, 12-week co-supplementation with 250 mg magnesium oxide plus 150 mg zinc sulfate significantly decreased FPG (β -9.44 mg/dL, p=0.03) compared to placebo.

Key Evidence #1
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 233
observational

It is suggested that treatment with zinc, ascorbic acid, or both does not affect SARS-CoV-2 symptoms, and there was no significant difference in the duration of symptoms among the 4 groups.

Key Evidence #2
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 140
observational

The notion that zinc supplementation may have clinical potential as an adjunct therapy for preventing or managing diabetes is supported, particularly the FG in subjects with diabetes and in subjects who received an inorganic zinc supplement.

Key Evidence #3
Public scholarly dataCitation signal: 135
observational

Among a general population of couples seeking infertility treatment, the use of folic acid and zinc supplementation by male partners, compared with placebo, did not significantly improve semen quality or couples' live birth rates.

review

It is indicated that zinc supplementation in infants and early childhood, but not pregnancy, increases specific growth outcomes, with evidence for a potentially stronger effect after 2 years of age.
