How much zinc would you supp for a 55lb. child. Also, would it be

beneficial to see thru a blood test if there is a zinc deficiency first? Or

is zinc one of those that you pee the excess--I don't want to give him too

much. Thanks,

Hi ,

I'm not exactly sure how much to supplement. I've been giving my son

about a athird of the capsule I take for myself. I bet Kirkman's

knows, since they sell it (I didn't buy mine from them). I don't

think it's one of those you just pee out, so it's probably the best

idea to check. If I find out an exact dosage, I'll post again.

Hi,

Our doc has my 80 pounder boy on 30mg of zinc, plus the zinc in SNT,

and claims we can't OD on it. Kirkman's website does have a lot of

info on zinc, including dosage recommendations.
