zinc?

[Guest guest]

I was wondering if I should take zinc as a supplement. I know it is a trace

mineral that we

don't need a lot of, but after reading the " beauty is only skin deep " file, it

made me think.

My hair tends to be very oily, before and during Bee's diet. Also I checked my

nutritional

profile on fitday, and I'm only getting about 50% of the RDA of zinc everyday

even though I

eat a good amount of red meat. This doesn't include all the celtic sea salt I

use though. So

I'm not sure if I should a zinc supplement, or if the celtic sea salt is

supplying enough (I

use about 1.5-2 tsp a day). Has anyone else run into this?

Thanks so much

==>Hi . You could take 15 mg of zinc per day, but every 2 weeks

do not take it for 1 day to allow your body to balance. Also use a

good natural shampoo and rinse your hair with vinegar (do not rinse out

the vinegar; the smell goes quite quickly). Most candida sufferers'

bodies are running on their sympathetic nervous system (the one that

produces adrenaline), rather than their parasympathetic nervous system,

which produces excessive hormones that increases the production of

excessive oil, so doing deep breathing exercises a few times a day

would be very helpful for you to do; do a site search on my website.

zinc monomethionine is sometimes better tolerated or has better effects if you decide to drop picolinate maybe try that one instead?

Hello all, my son has intercellular zinc deficiency and have been supplementing with 15mg of zinc picolinate before bed. We have had the most hyper behaviour at bedtime that we have seen for a long time and I just attributed it to the light evenings and not wanting to go to sleep. Looking back in the diary though it does seem to link to when I began the zinc. Has anyone else seen this? I was recommended to give an extra dose in the morning too ?

Thank you
