DogPerson from this forum says do not take zinc supplements ever.
Seriously? Why?
Ask her [...]
Hmm, I think I'll pass. With a few notable exceptions, hair analysis doesn't have much of a reputation anyway...
What amounts and when in the day?
Just watch for a metal taste. Stop right away for a while, then take less. I found out and figured that out a couple of years ago. It was awful.
Hi Sallysblooms,
Is that metal taste with zinc? I had a metallic taste for a while after starting the mb12 but I had infections and all sorts of things that had to clear up. I was only getting 15mg of zinc in those days in a multi mineral. I never had it later when I increased the dose. An magnesium isn't part of it, right?
