Development stage: Approved
Modality: Small Molecules
Administration: Topical, Oral

Overview

Zinc citrate is a zinc salt of citric acid, widely utilized as a dietary supplement and an active ingredient in oral care products. It is recognized for its high bioavailability, meaning it is readily absorbed by the body. As an essential mineral, zinc plays a critical role in numerous biological functions, including supporting immune defense, cognitive health, and overall metabolism. In oral hygiene, zinc citrate exhibits significant antibacterial properties by releasing zinc ions that disrupt bacterial cell membranes, inhibit bacterial enzyme function, and prevent the formation of biofilms, thereby effectively reducing dental plaque and gingivitis. It also contributes to reducing inflammation and acts as an antioxidant.

Other names: 柠檬酸锌
