Those of you taking Zinc or have before ....
How much do you use or recommend ??
Do you take it daily ??
Important question - Is this gentle on the tummy ???
Thanks all :dddd:

I take zinc daily. I don't have the bottle here at work for the dosage, but just one pill a day as it is a mineral, so you would never want to take large doses of that!
I take it because it is supposed to be good for "male functioning".....and as a general good health supplement, it is really good for lots of things..
I never noticed it making my tummy upset, but I have a cast-iron stomach (usually).

You know i used Zinc for acne years ago ..
I know too much Zinc is a No no - so i am thinking a 5mg dose would see me right - The RDA is 15mg !!
I think i need some now as i have a cold :roll:
Let me know your dose Kim

Oh, it is great for colds, especially the stuff you put in your nose, I use it!!
Yep, 15 Mg sounds right...

I take 10 mg twice a day but it was prescribed as I need additional support with wound healing.
I hop you feel better soon, babycakes!

I used to take Cold-eze when I had colds which has zinc in it, but I am not sure how much!!

Thanks !!
I grabbed some Zinc in the chemist today - 15mg - which i took half.. hopefully it will shift this cold too :)

Hello,
I started taking Zinc after I read that it boosts the immune system. The bottle I bought is 30mg. and I have taken one every day and it hasn't bothered my stomach at all.

I haven't noticed any issues either. I am sorry, I misspoke on my dosage. I take 50 mg twice a day.

I am on 15mg as i have another cold :roll: Maybe i need to double up !
I havent noticed any disturbance tummy wise either.
