Routine zinc supplementation is not recommended without the advice of a healthcare professional. In some people, zinc might cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, metallic taste, kidney and stomach damage, and other side effects. Using zinc on broken skin may cause burning, stinging, itching, and tingling.

These studies have found that people suffering from a zinc deficiency may find that food tastes differently to them, as a result these people may experience a decrease in appetite. Because of this, many doctors suggest that anyone, who is trying to increase their appetite and gain weight, take a zinc supplement.
