Zinc Sulfate?? (X Post)

[Guest guest]

We saw Dr. Bock a few weeks ago and as part of the recommendations, he

wants my son taking 2 tsp of Metagenics' Zinc Drink (15 mg of zinc

sulfate in deionized water) each night. I had been giving him 60 mg of

Kirkman's hypoallergenic zinc capsules (zinc chelate and citrate) each

day. I'm wondering what the value and benefit of the zinc sulfate is

and if it is worth the $50/month price tag vs. the $5.50 I was paying

each month for Kirkman's zinc. I'm guessing that the sulfate is

beneficial and perhaps reducing the acid in his stomach? But is it

really worth the significant additional expense??? Any thoughts??

Thanks!
