Guest guest Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 One of my son's current sups is zinc citrate. We initially started giving him zinc because he was mouthing/chewing everything. Well, he still does it. I'm wondering if I should try zinc picolinate, instead. I looked up the difference between the two, and apparently the picolinate form is absorbed across the intestine better. It was also suggested that both copper and magnesium should be taken if zinc is taken, because it can deplete both of them. My son currently takes neither of those. Anyone have thoughts on this? Is picolinate better? Should my son be taking copper and mag? Also, what dosage? Right now he's taking 30 mg/day of zinc citrate. He's currently 35 lbs, and will be 5 in 10 days. Thanks so much!
