Decreases diarrhoea duration
StrongEvidence strength: strong. Randomised human trials or their synthesis, with the effect's size and interval recorded and no recorded weakness outstanding.Finding“Twenty-four trials reported on the duration of diarrhoea, and the associated meta-analysis suggested that the duration of diarrhoea decreased significantly in the zinc group as compared to no zinc/placebo group (MD = −13.27 hours; 95% CI = −17.66, −8.89; 24 trials, 6249 participants, moderate certainty of evidence).”
