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 Citrate

Zinc citrate, a vital mineral supplement, boasts distinct physical and chemical properties. It typically appears as a white, odorless, crystalline powder with a slightly grainy texture. Unlike some minerals, zinc citrate is surprisingly hydrophilic, meaning it readily attracts and dissolves in water. This high solubility contributes to its excellent bioavailability, allowing the body to easily absorb the zinc it contains. From a scientific standpoint, zinc citrate is the zinc salt of citric acid, with the chemical formula C₆H₅O₇Zn₃.

Its molecular weight is around 471 g/mol, and it decomposes when heated above 200°C. This combination of physical and chemical characteristics makes zinc citrate a well-tolerated and effective form of zinc for dietary supplements and other applications. 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 citrate.
