3 out of 5 stars too much Zinc?   June 2, 2010

I've read other places that max dosage for zinc is 40mg and 30mg is the considered dosage for Vegans.
I'm going to cut the dosage in half to prevent excessive copper loss from too much zinc.

Diabetes (preferably for those with a documented deficiency), Genital herpes, Gingivitis, Halitosis (zinc chloride rinse or toothpaste), Hepatitis C (zinc-L-carnosine), HIV support, Immune function, Infection, Liver cirrhosis, Macular degeneration, Peptic ulcer, Pregnancy support, Rheumatoid arthritis, Sickle cell anemia, Skin ulcers, Sprains and strains (if deficient), Tinnitus (for deficiency only), Warts,

WHY THIS ZINC?

This is the right Zinc [Picolinate] if you have trouble absorbing enough of it through other means of ingestion or forms of zinc. Being in capsules elininates the need for binders so this is a really good way to get zinc in the ideal and most bio-available picolinate form which is so useful if you have an Inflamatory Bowel Disease or malabsorption problems.

50 mg. per capsule is the ideal dose for most men though a bit heavy for women. Most vendors only carry the smaller of the two bottle sizes [60 or 120 capsules] but "AMAZON" carries both, so we save a little by getting the larger bottle. "NOW" is an excellent brand with a track record of stellar quality control.
