Description

(Sterile Trace Element for IV Use – Immune, Antioxidant, and Wound Support)

Clinically Compounded Injectable Zinc for Immune Enhancement, Antioxidant Protection, and Metabolic Function

Zinc Chloride Injection 10 mg/mL – 30 mL Vial is a sterile, preservative-free injectable solution of zinc chloride, formulated specifically for parenteral administration under clinical supervision. This trace mineral plays a vital role in over 300 enzymatic reactions and is required for optimal immune function, wound healing, collagen synthesis, and antioxidant defense.

Zinc chloride injections are commonly used in IV nutrient therapy, hospital nutrition support, and clinical integrative medicine protocols, particularly for patients with zinc deficiency, poor absorption, or high oxidative stress due to chronic illness, infection, or toxin exposure.

Key Clinical Benefits

1. Immune System Modulation

• Essential for T-cell function, macrophage activity, and cytokine production

• Helps reduce the frequency and severity of viral infections

• Often included in IV therapy protocols for immune support during flu season or acute illness

2. Wound Healing and Tissue Repair

• Promotes collagen synthesis, epithelial regeneration, and cell division

• Used in post-surgical recovery and for patients with pressure ulcers, burns, or diabetic wounds

3. Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Effects

• Cofactor for superoxide dismutase (SOD) and other antioxidant enzymes

• Helps reduce oxidative damage and inflammatory signaling

• Beneficial in managing chronic inflammatory conditions and oxidative stress syndromes

4. Neurological and Hormonal Balance

• Modulates neurotransmitter function, including GABA and glutamate pathways

• Supports thyroid hormone metabolism and insulin function

• May assist with mood stabilization, ADHD, and blood sugar control

5. Zinc Deficiency Correction

• Essential for patients with impaired zinc absorption or excessive zinc loss due to:
  • Alcoholism

  • Malabsorption syndromes (e.g., Crohn’s disease, celiac disease)

  • Parenteral nutrition

  • Burns, sepsis, or chronic diarrhea

Clinical Use Cases

• IV nutrient therapy (Myers’ Cocktail, immune drips)

• Adjunctive support in viral infections (e.g., flu, herpes, EBV)

• Post-surgical and wound healing protocols

• Zinc repletion in GI or metabolic disorders

• Antioxidant support for detoxification and heavy metal chelation protocols

Dosage and Administration

• Route: Intravenous only, must be diluted

• Dosage: Determined by clinician based on individual need; typical doses range from 1–5 mg of elemental zinc per day

• Dilution: Dilute in 100–250 mL of a compatible carrier fluid (e.g., 0.9% saline or D5W)

• Infusion Time: Usually 30–60 minutes

Always administer under professional medical supervision. Monitor patient status during infusion.

Safety and Tolerability

Zinc is well tolerated when administered within safe dosage ranges. High doses or rapid infusions can cause transient side effects, particularly GI or vascular discomfort.

Possible adverse effects:

• Metallic taste

• Mild nausea

• Hypotension or flushing (rare, usually with rapid infusion)

• Pain at the injection site (minimized with proper dilution)

Contraindications & Precautions

Contraindications:

• Known hypersensitivity to zinc chloride

• Wilson’s disease (copper storage disorder) – use with caution

Precautions:

• Monitor copper and iron status with prolonged use

• Avoid high-dose zinc in patients with renal insufficiency without supervision

• Do not administer undiluted; always infuse slowly

Storage and Handling

• Store at 2–8°C (refrigerated)

• Protect from light and freezing

• Discard any unused portion 28 days after vial puncture

• Use aseptic technique for each withdrawal

Ideal For Use In:

• Functional and integrative medicine clinics

• IV nutrient therapy and wellness centers

• Primary care and anti-aging practices

• Hospital and post-surgical recovery units

• Immune and detoxification protocols

Summary

Zinc Chloride 10 mg/mL – 30 mL Vial delivers a potent, injectable trace element in a sterile and preservative-free form ideal for IV therapy, immune system support, and tissue recovery. Designed for clinical flexibility, it supports a wide range of metabolic, immune, and repair functions in patients with zinc deficiency, high oxidative stress, or increased physiological demands.
