RE: I have been taking Zinc as a cold remedy for years and now as a prophylaxis for weeks.
Good on you. How’s it working out so far?
May I ask, how many mg. of Zinc do you take daily?
I see Zinc picolinate being sold in my local pharmacy at 50 mg per tablet. Wonder if that’s good enough.
The label direction is one tablet (50 mg) daily "as a dietary supplement". I've never heard anyone recommend megadoses. We are just doing the one. Sometimes, when I have a cold, I will crush the tablet (not made for that) in my mouth to get some more absorption.
