Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental Group

During the study period, all subjects were required to avoid a diet high in zinc in order to avoid interference with dietary zinc intake and reduce bias in the weeks 1-2. In the weeks 3-4, all subjects were started to receive zinc supplementation at the normal adult dose (zinc tablets: 1 tablet (10mg Zinc) once daily after meals), while maintaining the avoidance of high-zinc foods.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Zinc Gluconate

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT
