About Zinc Supplement

Zinc is an essential trace mineral that plays a critical role in immune function, wound healing, cell division, and hundreds of enzymatic reactions throughout the body. In Nigeria, zinc supplementation has gained enormous importance due to its life-saving role in the management of childhood diarrhoeal diseases, which remain a leading cause of death among children under five in the country. The World Health Organisation and UNICEF jointly recommend zinc supplementation alongside oral rehydration salts (ORS) for every episode of childhood diarrhoea, and this protocol has been widely adopted across Nigerian health facilities — from the University College Hospital in Ibadan and Lagos University Teaching Hospital to community health posts in rural villages across Zamfara, Kebbi, and other states with high child mortality rates.
