zinc and molybdenum questions

[Guest guest]

Been reviewing my supplement schedule and I've got a couple of

supplement questions -

1. I've been taking zinc 3/day and just noticed that Andy says 50-100

mg per day, not per dose. So with 3 doses I'm taking 150 mg per

day... too much, huh? I thought I saw somewhere that you could/should

take zinc at every meal, which is how I came up with the 3/day idea.

What do people do on zinc? Take 50mg all at once? How many times a

day? Break it up? Buy lower dose tabs? Is 150mg/day really too much?

2. I haven't started molybdenum yet, since iHerb only offered it in

liquid and it would've taken a lot to get to Andy's recommended

1000mcg range. I finally got some from NEEDS, but they are 500mcg

caps. Again, I think I read that molybdenum should be taken 4

times/day, but now I can't find that anywhere. What are folks doing

for molybdenum? Taking it twice a day? Splitting the capsules?

Buying it somewhere else?

Thanks for any input,

--------------I have 30mg capsules, so I take 1-2, 2X/day, so sometimes I am

taking 120mg, so a little more than recommended also. So you could just take

1-50mg capsule 2X/day. I don't think splitting up the zinc during the day is as

important as it is for things like Vit C and B vitamins.--------Jackie

------------I buy Thorne brand that comes in 1000mcg capsules, and just take

one a day. It's available at Naturamart, Total Health Discount Vitamins,

Natural Nutritionals, and Illnessisoptional, and probably others.---------Jackie
