Guest guest Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Nevermind I figured this question out. thx Thane > > I'm a little confused on what might be a 'normal' dose of zinc during KPU treatment. My KPU program has only included zinc that is found in The Core supplement. I started out on two caps daily and worked up to four and an occasional six a day if I can handle it. When I look on the bottle it says four caps of Core contain 40mg of zinc(of various forms). Some of the literature from Dr. Kling says 250mg of zinc are needed daily. So i'm confused. Can someone tell me if its just elemental zinc thats important here, and which form of zinc is the elemental form? Thanks so much! > > Thane > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 The right amount for most people is about 40-50mg elemental zinc a day. More at the beginning up to around 60-80mg of zinc a day. So that's up to ~8 capsules of Core at first and then ~4 for maintenance. I personally would never do more than this without being closely monitored by your doctor and a heavy detoxification program in place. I did 200+ for a long time and it was one of the most difficult times of my recovery. Many other people have really struggled with KPU at high doses and I personally don't feel like it is necessary to push that hard and fast as it isn't easy. All zinc dosages in the US are elemental. So if you get 50mg Zinc Picolinate, that's 50mg of elemental zinc. If you get 25mg of Zinc gluconate, that's 25mg of elemental zinc. In Europe, they label differently, but in the US, they list the elemental zinc regardless of which salt is used. -- In Better Health, @...
