Nausea and Vomiting

The most prevalent adverse symptoms of zinc overdose are nausea and vomiting. A 2012 assessment of 17 trials on the usefulness of zinc supplements for treating the common cold discovered that zinc may shorten the duration of a cold, but it was not without side effects. In fact, the trial participants who received zinc had a 64% greater incidence of nausea than the control groups, according to the evaluation.

Although vomiting may aid in the removal of hazardous levels of zinc from the body, it may not be sufficient to avoid subsequent difficulties. Seek medical attention right once if you have ingested dangerous levels of zinc.
