Re: Chewing on sleeves and stimming, is

I am giving him 15 mg of zinc every other night and he weighs 80 lbs. I have had

an opposite zinc/copper ration where the ratio was almost 1. So that is the

reason I had stopped it and also because zinc potentiates the action of

testosterone and we were seeing signs of elevated testosterone in him. Now I am

still not giving him every day. He is getting 15 mg from his multi as well but I

don't count it as zinc has a major problem with absorption when combined with

other minerals. How much does your child weigh? Also check his iron and ferritin

profile also as iron deficiency can give PICA as well. The brand that I am

currently using is Pure Encapsulations which is without any crazy ingredients

and the dose is not too much either.

Good Luck

Hi all

Just thought I'd add my daughters dose: she is 18kg (40lbs) and takes 65mg. She

is needing the zinc.
