'''Zinc gluconate''' is the [[salt (chemistry)|salt]] of [[gluconic acid|gluconate]] and [[zinc]] II.  It is an [[ionic bond|ionic]] [[chemical compound|compound]] consisting of two moles of gluconate for each mole of zinc.


Zinc gluconate is a popular form for the delivery of zinc as a [[dietary supplement]].


It is found naturally, and is industrially manufactured by the [[fermentation (biochemistry)|fermentation]] of [[glucose]], typically by ''[[Aspergillus niger]]'', but also by other [[fungus|fungi]], e.g. ''[[Penicillium]]'', or by [[bacteria]], e.g. ''[[Acetobacter]]'', ''[[Pseudomonas]]'' and ''Gluconobacter''.<ref>{{cite journal

==Zinc gluconate glycine==

<!--Pill Image-->


Zinc gluconate glycine is a formulation containing '''zinc gluconate''' and the [[amino acid]] [[glycine]]. It is available as an over-the-counter remedy for the [[common cold]].


Zinc gluconate, when made into a [[throat lozenge|lozenge]] by itself, has a mildly [[acid]]ic taste, which will turn into a  bitter taste over a period of time. The addition of large amounts of glycine to the lozenge produces a much milder and more stable taste. The resulting commercial products have a nearly unlimited shelf life. 


This compound was patented in 1985 by John C. Godfrey of Godfrey Science & Design. The Quigley Corporation has trademarked the name '''ZIGG'''™ for the compound.  The company is also the only major supplier of zinc gluconate glycine, distributed under the brand name '''Cold-Eeze'''. All [[clinical trial]]s of the compound to date have involved the lozenges in this product family.
<!--Label Display Image-->


Like zinc gluconate, zinc gluconate glycine has been shown in clinical trials to shorten the mean and median duration of symptoms of the common cold<ref>{{cite journal|author=Godfrey JC, Godfrey NJ, Novick SG. |title=Zinc for treating the common cold: Review of all clinical trials since 1984.|year=1996| id= PMID 8942045}}</ref> The amount of glycine added can range anywhere from two to twenty [[Mole (unit)|mole]]s of glycine for each mole of zinc gluconate (US Patent 4,684,528, Claim 1). 


The manufacturer claims that their product reduces the duration of common cold symptoms by 42%, compared to the natural duration.  However, the actual benefits gained from the product depend heavily on how quickly the treatment is started after the first appearance of symptoms.  Repeated clinical trials of the compound have generally shown a measurable, but varied, benefit relative to a [[placebo]], typically on the order of a one to four day reduction in symptom duration.<ref>{{cite journal|author=D.

==Safety Concerns==
<!-- This section, [[Zinc gluconate#Safety Concerns]], is direct-linked to by the [[Homeopathy]] article in a discussion of Zicam. Please do not change the section title without fixing the link-->
In September 2003, Zicam, a brand of homeopathic zinc cold remedy, faced lawsuits from users who claimed that the product negatively affected their sense of smell, and sometimes taste.  In January 2006, 340 lawsuits were settled for $12 million.[http://zicam.vanosteen.com/] In early 2004, at the height of the controversy, Matrixx Industries, the maker of Zicam, claimed that only a small number of people had experienced problems and that [[anosmia]] (loss of smell) can, amongst others, also be caused by the common cold itself. Matrixx Industries also claimed that zinc gluconate dissolves into zinc ions and gluconate, and that both are naturally occurring compounds which are found in all human tissues. They also claim that Zicam is a buffered gel that is formulated to have a neutral [[pH]].  Others countered Matrixx Industries, claiming that many of the patients had experienced a strong and very painful burning sensation when they used the product, indicating damage to the nasal tissue. Nonetheless the nasal gel continues to be sold.


The U.S. [[Food and Drug Administration]] (FDA) considers zinc gluconate to be [[generally recognized as safe]] (GRAS) when used in accordance with good manufacturing practice, although this does not constitute a finding by the FDA that the substance is a useful dietary supplement.<ref>{{cite web
