Zinc acetate is a zinc salt used therapeutically for Wilson's disease, a copper metabolism disorder, where orally administered zinc ions competitively inhibit intestinal copper absorption by inducing enterocyte metallothionein that sequesters copper and prevents its transfer to portal blood. It is also used as a dietary zinc supplement to treat or prevent zinc deficiency, supporting immune function, wound healing, and neurological function. Zinc acetate is preferred for maintenance therapy of Wilson's disease due to its favorable safety profile.
