| Active Ingredient | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| Zinc |
Zinc blocks the intestinal absorption of copper from the diet and the reabsorption of endogenously secreted copper. Zinc induces the production of metallothionein in the enterocyte, a protein that binds copper thereby preventing its transfer into the blood. The bound copper is then eliminated in the stool following desquamation of the intestinal cells. |

| Zinc sulfate |
Zinc sulfate is a source of zinc which is an essential trace element and involved in a number of body enzyme systems. Severe deficiency causes skin lesion, alopecia, diarrhoea, increased susceptibility to infections and failure to thrive in children. |
