I went to my local supermarket yesterday. It sells three brands of zinc, and they were all sold out. Just about every other type of supplement was well-stocked. My multi-vitamin has some zinc, but i was going to up my zinc intake a little. I have a feeling that looking for zinc is going to be like looking for toilet paper.
Zinc is scarce in my area too. None at the grocery stores or nearby supplement store. No problem getting some from Amazon though.
