Re: OT: zinc and hyperactivity

[Guest guest]

what is the brand of the zinc methionine?

zinc methinone is very well absorbed so you are probably seeing the

effects of decent zinc absorbtion for the first time which could be a

number of things.

when you get a problem like this and it seems to be the right thing

to do then just back off the dose until it is toerated no matter how

small. it could be as low as 1/16th of the dose you are giving now.

isn't there some problem with oral glutathione? what is the brand and

type of the store multivitmain?

First check the additives in the new zinc formulation. What is there

that is different than what was in the Kirkman zinc?

Otherwise, I would drop the dose by half, see if that helps.

The brand name of the zinc is VRP. I had heard that it isn't

bioava. but I recently read in the VRP newsletter that it is and am

in the process of looking up there references. The brand of

glutatione is twinlabs.

Thanks for the information on the zinc. I had assumed that it more

was getting to him but I wanted to make sure.

How did you know your son was having trouble with the high b's? What were

the indicaters?

He would stim (handflapping and pacing) all day and night

(literally!!!) when I would increase his dose of nu-thera everytime.

Eye contact was totally gone and he seemed to be regressing. I

thought it was yeast at first and tried to kill that but it cont.

until I stopped the nu-thera and it stopped. Also, started with

increase of brainchilds. I attempted to get him to the recommended

dose but no going there. I have him on half dose and he does fine.

HTH,
