BACKGROUND Zinc deficiency and contaminated water are major contributors to diarrhea in developing countries. Food fortification with zinc has not shown clear benefits, possibly because of low zinc absorption from inhibitory food matrices. We used a novel point-of-use water ultrafiltration device configured with glass zinc plates to produce zinc-fortified, potable water. OBJECTIVE The objective was to determine zinc bioavailability from filtered water and the efficacy of zinc-fortified water…

Effectiveness of zinc-fortified water on zinc intake, status and morbidity in Kenyan pre-school children: a randomised controlled trial
TLDR
Daily consumption of Zn-fortified, microbiologically treated water results in increased intake of absorbable dietary Zn and may help in preventing childhood infections in pre-school children in rural Africa.
Effectiveness of zinc fortified drinking water on zinc intake, status and morbidity of rural Kenyan pre-school children
TLDR
Zinc, iron and vitamin A deficiencies as well as inflammation were high in the Kenyan preschool children assessed, and for high prevalences above global thresholds there was no substantial difference in Fe and Zn deficiency prevalence hence correction is not required to determine the public health relevance of a nutritional deficiency problem.
Combining food‐based dietary recommendations using Optifood with zinc‐fortified water potentially improves nutrient adequacy among 4‐ to 6‐year‐old children in Kisumu West district, Kenya
TLDR
Introduction of zinc-fortified water combined with FBRs will likely improve the nutrient adequacy of diets consumed by children in Kenya but needs to be complemented with alternative interventions to ensure dietary adequacy.
Sensitivity of fatty acid desaturation and elongation to plasma zinc concentration: a randomised controlled trial in Beninese children.
TLDR
Zn-fortified filtered water prevented the reduction of nervonic acid composition in the plasma total phospholipids of children, and this effect was stronger in Zn-deficient children, thus, Zn status may play an important role in FA desaturation and/or elongation.
Rural Beninese Children Are at Risk of Zinc Deficiency According to Stunting Prevalence and Plasma Zinc Concentration but Not Dietary Zinc Intakes.
TLDR
The prevalence of <5-y stunting and the prevalence of low PZn indicate that the risk of zinc deficiency is elevated in this population of preschool and school-age children in northern Benin.
Zinc Absorption from Milk Is Affected by Dilution but Not by Thermal Processing, and Milk Enhances Absorption of Zinc from High-Phytate Rice in Young Dutch Women.
Background: Milk has been suggested to increase zinc absorption. The effect of processing and the ability of milk to enhance zinc absorption from other foods has not been measured directly in…
Influence of Dairy Products on Bioavailability of Zinc from Other Food Products: A Review of Complementarity at a Meal Level
TLDR
Considering that the main dietary zinc sources in areas in the world where zinc deficiency is most prevalent are typically high in phytate, the inclusion of dairy products in meals may be a viable dietary strategy to improve zinc absorption.
Guts, Germs, and Iron: A Systematic Review on Iron Supplementation, Iron Fortification, and Diarrhea in Children Aged 4–59 Months
TLDR
It is recommended that diarrhea be clearly defined and consistently recorded as a secondary outcome and that further microbiome research is required to better understand the effects of oral iron on specific bacterial species in the colon.

Na2EDTA enhances the absorption of iron and zinc from fortified rice flour in Sri Lankan children.
TLDR
It is concluded that the fortification of rice flour is feasible, although additional strategies such as dephytinization or an increase in the level of Iron and zinc fortification should be considered to obtain a higher proportion of the daily requirement of total absorbed iron and zinc.
Extruded rice grains fortified with zinc, iron, and vitamin A increase zinc status of Thai school children when incorporated into a school lunch program.
TLDR
Zn fortification of extruded rice grains is efficacious and can be used to improve Zn status in school children, according to the proper implementation of the school lunch and school milk programs.
Longitudinal measurements of zinc absorption in Peruvian children consuming wheat products fortified with iron only or iron and 1 of 2 amounts of zinc.
TLDR
Although consumption of zinc-fortified foods may reduce FAZ, zinc fortification at the levels studied positively affects total daily zinc absorption, even after nearly 2 mo of exposure to zinc- Fortified diets.
A micronutrient powder with low doses of highly absorbable iron and zinc reduces iron and zinc deficiency and improves weight-for-age Z-scores in South African children.
TLDR
Inclusion of an exogenous phytase combined with NaFeEDTA and AA may allow a substantial reduction in the iron dose from existing MNP while still delivering adequate iron and zinc and is likely to enhance absorption of the high native iron content of complementary foods based on cereals and/or legumes.
Comparison of the effects of zinc delivered in a fortified food or a liquid supplement on the growth, morbidity, and plasma zinc concentrations of young Peruvian children.
BACKGROUND Zinc supplementation decreases morbidity from infections and increases growth of stunted children, but there is little information on functional responses to zinc delivered in fortified…
Zinc Fortification of Cereal Flours: Current Recommendations and Research Needs
TLDR
Zinc fortification of cereal flour is a safe and appropriate strategy for enhancing the zinc status of population subgroups who consume adequate amounts of fortified cereal flour, although additional information is needed to confirm the efficacy and effectiveness of large-scale zinc fortification programs to control zinc deficiency.
Zinc Absorption by Young Adults from Supplemental Zinc Citrate Is Comparable with That from Zinc Gluconate and Higher than from Zinc Oxide123
TLDR
It is concluded that zinc citrate, given as a supplement without food, is as well absorbed by healthy adults as zinc gluconate and may thus be a useful alternative for preventing zinc deficiency and treating diarrhea.
Influence of phytase, EDTA, and polyphenols on zinc absorption in adults from porridges fortified with zinc sulfate or zinc oxide.
TLDR
ZnSO4 was better absorbed than ZnO, phytase used to degrade PA during digestion or during food preparation substantially increased zinc absorption from zinc-fortified cereals, EDTA at a 1:1 molar ratio modestly enhanced zinc absorption in young adults consuming maize or sorghum porridges.
Systematic Review of Zinc Fortification Trials
TLDR
Although the findings highlight that zinc fortification is associated with an increased serum concentration of the micronutrient, overall evidence of the effectiveness of this approach is limited and large-scale fortification programs with robust impact assessment should be initiated to cover larger populations in all age groups.
Zinc nutritional status of young middle-income children and effects of consuming zinc-fortified breakfast cereals.
TLDR
No significant differences in food intake or growth velocity were associated with the consumption of the zinc-fortified cereal and multiple sex and time related differences occurred in plasma, hair, urine, and parotid saliva zinc concentrations that were unrelated to the type of cereal consumed.
