Hi Shelley,

I bought some liquid zinc to take the test and found it had a bland water taste, Shocked so obviously I am very deficient. The stated daily dosage of this liquid contains only 4 mg of zinc, so I am thinking I need to go buy some capsules/tablets that are about 25 mg each...is this right? Also, I noticed there are various versions of zinc - like my liquid is zinc sulfate - does it make a difference which kind? Thanks!

Laura

Yep, you can do 25 mg chelated zinc daily no problem when you're low, for about a month. Then you should be able to stop, just take it once or twice a week to maintain. Take it more often if you're supplementing calcium.
