What it is

Zinc sulfate monohydrate is a form of the essential mineral zinc. It is typically produced by reacting zinc metal or zinc oxide with sulfuric acid, followed by crystallization. It appears as a white crystalline powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add zinc sulfate monohydrate to fortify foods and beverages with zinc, an essential nutrient. It is commonly found in dietary supplements, infant formulas, and fortified foods like cereals and powdered drink mixes.

Health notes

Zinc sulfate monohydrate is recognized as safe and effective by the FDA for use in infant formulas and as a nutrient supplement. Zinc is vital for immune function, wound healing, and cell growth. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated zinc compounds and established guidelines for their use. While essential, excessive zinc intake can interfere with copper absorption and may cause gastrointestinal upset.
