Zinc Sulfate
Zinc sulfate is an inorganic zinc salt used as an oral zinc supplement to treat and prevent zinc deficiency states, supporting wound healing, immune function, growth, and taste/smell sensation. It has been investigated in numerous conditions including the common cold (intranasal zinc), age-related macular degeneration (AREDS formulation), and Wilson's disease as an alternative zinc source for copper absorption inhibition. Topical zinc sulfate has mild astringent and antimicrobial properties used in ophthalmic solutions.
