Just got zinc pills

[WarriorPL]

They have 22mg of zinc and 22mg of calcium per pill. That any good?

What other things can i take along with these taht i can get at my local pharmacy.

 

[ZKaudio]

take around 100g/s a day. I prefer 50 mid day 50 before bed (mg that is)

 

[gsxr600]

uhh no. 100g's hehe thats pretty toxic shit
dont take over 80mgs. IMO
I useually just take 2 grams of glucosamine, 1 g two times a day, and take a zinc/ calcium with every batch
so i'm getting around 40mgs from supps
but your probably getting plenty from your food, as well as a multi if your taking one.

If you're talking a multi-vitamin, preferably one you take twice a day, you're probably getting about 25mg from it; so just add one zinc/cal in the AM and one at PM and you'll be good to go.

are you taking enough magnesium ?

 

[ZKaudio]

100 mg is fine, especially split into 2 doses. I assume you are a fully grown adult.

I'm currently stacking 60mg's of both zinc and magnesium every day.

Note: Take on an empty stomach before bed.

A pill with both zinc and calcium in it???

That doesn't make any sense, who would market a pill like that?

I only say this because calcium binds up and inhibits the absorption of zinc.

Taking the two together is not a good idea.

 

[ZKaudio]

is it chelated? zinc upsets some people's stomachs

 

[tonytonytony]

yea the zinc and calcium cancel each other out, this is what i have heard from a nutrition class, and you wonder why they zinc in cereal?
