What are the side effects of zinc beauty tablets

Zinc magnesium tablets may cause side effects such as gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, and allergic reactions, and long-term overdose may interfere with the absorption of other minerals. Zinc magnesium tablets are mainly used to supplement zinc and magnesium elements, suitable for people with imbalanced diets or specific needs, but attention should be paid to reasonable dosage.

1. Gastrointestinal discomfort

The zinc element in zinc magnesium tablets may irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, and some people may experience nausea, abdominal pain, or diarrhea after taking them. Symptoms may worsen when taken on an empty stomach, and it is recommended to take it with or after meals to reduce irritation. People with weak gastrointestinal function should use it with caution, and stop using it if there is persistent discomfort.

2. Headache and Dizziness

Magnesium element has the effect of regulating neuromuscular function. Some sensitive individuals may experience transient headaches or dizziness after supplementing magnesium. The symptoms are usually mild and can be relieved on their own. If accompanied by blurred vision or vomiting, seek medical attention promptly to investigate other causes.

3. Allergic reactions

A small number of people may develop allergies to the excipients in zinc magnesium tablets, manifested as skin itching, rash, or swelling of oral mucosa. People with allergies should observe their physical reactions when taking medication for the first time. If they experience serious symptoms such as difficulty breathing, they should immediately stop taking the medication and seek medical treatment.

4. Mineral imbalance

Long term excessive use of zinc and magnesium tablets may inhibit the absorption of other minerals such as copper and iron, leading to anemia or decreased immune function. It is recommended to supplement continuously for no more than 3 months, and if necessary, test serum trace element levels to avoid taking large amounts of other mineral supplements at the same time.

5. Special population risk

Individuals with renal insufficiency may have reduced magnesium excretion ability, and taking zinc magnesium tablets may cause hypermagnesemia, manifested as muscle weakness or abnormal heart rhythm. Pregnant and lactating women should control the dosage under the guidance of a physician, as children taking it indiscriminately may affect their growth and development. During the period of taking zinc magnesium tablets, it is recommended to maintain sufficient daily water intake and avoid taking them together with high calcium foods that may affect absorption. The general population can usually meet their zinc and magnesium needs through a balanced diet, prioritizing natural foods such as zinc rich oysters, beef, magnesium rich nuts, and green leafy vegetables. If long-term supplementation is needed, it is recommended to evaluate physical reactions every 2-3 months and consult a nutritionist or physician in a timely manner to adjust the plan if any abnormal symptoms occur. Avoid taking tetracycline antibiotics, diuretics, and other medications together in daily life to prevent interaction and reduce efficacy.
