Zinc - tiredness

[Guest guest]

I started my son on Zinc (15mg cap) and I gave him 1/4 cap. On the

first day he was jumping very often and there were other increased

sensory issues (as reported earlier by many parents). On the second

day there was not much jumping but he seemed very tired most of the

day - lying down and stretching himself (which is very unusual of him)

I read that large amounts of zinc given for very long period of time

results in these symptoms. I dont understand why this is happening on

the 2nd day and that too for a dose of just around 3.5mg.

Any ideas?

The cap contains 15mg of Zinc (citrate), Vit C (60 mg) and Vit B6 (4

mg).

Thanks
