First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Move exposed person to fresh air. If not breathing, seek immediate medical attention. If breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel and seek medical attention.
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Seek medical attention.
Skin Contact: Remove contaminated clothing and shoes and immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. Wash clothing before reuse. Clean shoes thoroughly before reuse. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
Eye Contact: Check for and remove any contact lenses. Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Seek immediate medical attention.

Description of Zinc Gluconate

Zinc gluconate, a popular form of zinc supplement, boasts unique physical and chemical properties. Typically appearing as white, odourless crystals or a fine powder, it offers a slight advantage over other zinc salts – it’s not hygroscopic. This means it won’t readily absorb moisture from the air, making it easier to handle and store. Texture-wise, zinc gluconate can range from slightly gritty to smooth depending on the particle size. Scientifically, zinc gluconate is classified as an ionic compound.

It forms when zinc (Zn²⁺) cations bond with gluconate anions (C₆H₁₁O₇^3-). Each zinc ion is linked to two gluconate molecules. This chemical structure offers a gentler delivery of zinc compared to some other forms, potentially reducing stomach upset. As a leading API manufacturer, WBCIL prioritizes strict CGMP and ISO quality control measures throughout the production process. The prolonged experience from 1962 ensures consistent potency, purity, and safety in every dose of WBCIL’s zinc gluconate.
