KAL Zinc 5 mg in Pakistan
Not every zinc needs to be 50. Build your daily zinc budget.
The Low-Dose Idea
Many zinc supplements in the market contain 25 mg, 30 mg or 50 mg per capsule, which is several times what most adults need each day. KAL Zinc 5 mg takes a different approach: a small, everyday amount that tops up what you already get from food, without going near the upper limit.
That is useful for people who want a steady daily nutritional top-up, and not a high-strength product used for a limited period.
Your Daily Zinc Budget
Think of zinc like a daily budget. Your target is the recommended intake, and your ceiling is the upper limit.
| Group | Daily requirement (US guidance) | Upper limit |
|---|---|---|
| Adult men | 11 mg | 40 mg |
| Adult women | 8 mg | 40 mg |
| Pregnancy | 11 mg | 40 mg |
| Breastfeeding | 12 mg | 40 mg |
Worksheet: add up a typical day (approximate amounts)
| Meal | Example | Approx. zinc |
|---|---|---|
| Breakfast | 1 egg, 1 roti, a cup of yogurt | 2 to 3 mg |
| Lunch | Daal, a roti, and a small portion of chicken | 3 to 4 mg |
| Snack | A handful of nuts or pumpkin seeds | 1 to 2 mg |
| Dinner | Chana or beef salan with roti | 2 to 5 mg |
| Food total | About 8 to 14 mg | |
| This supplement | KAL Zinc 5 mg | 5 mg |
| Grand total | About 13 to 19 mg |
Your total will vary with what you eat. On days with little meat or yogurt, your food total will be lower, and a 5 mg supplement helps close the gap. On days with plenty of meat, your food total is higher.
The point: with 5 mg, you stay comfortably below the 40 mg upper limit even after counting food, which is not the case with a 50 mg capsule taken every day.
Why Zinc Can Run Low
- Wheat-heavy meals. Whole-wheat atta and legumes contain phytates, which bind zinc and reduce absorption.
- Limited meat and seafood. These are among the best zinc sources.
- Tea with meals. Frequent chai can interfere with mineral absorption for some people.
- Higher needs. Growth, pregnancy, breastfeeding, illness and heavy sweating all raise zinc needs.
National nutrition surveys in Pakistan have described zinc shortfall as a public health concern, particularly among children and women.
