Guest guest Posted February 12, 2007 Report Share Posted February 12, 2007 Hi Mandy Zinc is usually supplemented by body weight. 1mg per 2lbs of body weight plus up to an additional 20mg per day. This should be divided into several doses eg we dose 3 times a day. Make sure you keep zinc away from other minerals eg calcium, for the best absorption. We also have to give different types of zinc each day to ensure healthy levels are maintained on testing, but that's proabably just my son's particular need. www.mandimart.com sell optizinc which is good. If you do need to up the zinc, don't forget to go slowly. Kay. Thank you all for advising me for the clothes biting... How much zinc should I add? Kees is already getting 25 mg a day. I assume this is not enough. Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
