Z&D DS 20 Suspension contains Zinc Sulphate (20 mg), which acts on the body as follows:

Protein and DNA Synthesis: Zinc sulphate aids in protein synthesis and DNA replication. These processes are vital to cell growth and differentiation.
Immune System Functioning: Zinc sulphate supports the immune system's functioning. It enhances the activity of immune cells like macrophages and neutrophils, promoting their ability to engulf harmful pathogens.
Wound Repair: It contributes to wound healing by supporting cell growth and regeneration.
Maintenance of Taste and Smell: Zinc sulphate helps maintain a normal sense of taste and smell by aiding in the proper functioning of these sensory systems.
Intestinal Absorption: In cases of diarrhoea, zinc sulphate improves the intestine's ability to absorb water and electrolytes, which aids recovery from diarrhoea.
