I was just wondering how many people supplement Zinc on a daily bases.>>>>>>>> We do. I started this way back when Evan was maybe 3 or 4 --started with 1/4 of a 50 mg. tablet of zinc gluconate and it brought his TSH (thyroid test) of 5.7 down to 1.something. Then his TSH started creeping up and I increased the dose to 1/2 tablet or 25 mgs. TSH came down again. I kinda didn't give it consistently the last year or two and his TSH was 3.something his last blood test and zinc was low so I've been giving him 50 mg. for the last few weeks --will probably go down to 25 soon but I wanted to get it built back up. When we discussed this ages ago it seemed most sources said up to 100 mgs. was safe --for an adult I believe, so . . . Also these amounts are in addition to Nutrivene which Evan is also taking.
