Javier Said:

Is it okay to give my daughter a zinc tablet or a vitamin c tablet?

We Answered:

no it is not ok, her organs are not yet fully developed and you could damage her. A cold won't hurt her, it will help her to build immunity, just treat her symptoms, if you don't know how to do that, call your family doctor and ask for suggestions.

Will taking Vitamin C and Zinc supplements help acne?

We Answered:

Advantages - apparently vitamin C might be helping your skin condition. Zinc is listed in helping skin problems
Disadvantages - Both have serious side effects if used in high doses or for too long. Keep the C down to 1000 mg a day and the zinc at 15 mg per day. Use both for no more than a couple of weeks.

Calcium, Magnesium, Zinc Vitamin Supplement and SVT Tachycardia?

We Answered:

Well sure you can take too much of Calcium and Magnesium. You can take too much of about anything. I recommend you talk to your doctor about this matter, as the amount you should be taking depends on many factors. The most important of which to consider is the medications you take. As some medications may be affected by taking these supplements

Leslie Said:

Is it safe to take a 30 mg Zinc supplement in addition to the 15 mg that is found in my Centrum vitamin?

We Answered:

45mg of Zinc a day is not a problem... The real trouble begins when your daily intake exceeds 100mg; then you can get what some medical profesionals refer to refer to zinc poisoning, where some side effects aren't the most pleasant.

I myself take a 50mg tablet of zinc daily, plus the other zinc included in my diet, such as soy milk, oats, and the like.

So don't fret there buddy!

Alma Said:

Is it ok to take a vitamin c and zinc supplement during early pregnancy?

We Answered:

I am actually pretty sure that most prenatal vitamins provide those in the pills themselves. Are you taking prenatals and those or are you just taking those? If just those I would switch to prenatals. I know my prenatals have them.
