Guest guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 One year ago, after a blood test showed that my now almost 5 year old son was zinc deficient, we started 20 mg. Zinc Drink (Zinc Sulfate) once/day. It resulted in extreme gains. His moods improved and over a few months he started imitating and talking. Zinc drink is expensive and hard to get into him, especially since we're now chelating and trying to keep him well supplemented. Five days ago we switched to zinc picolinate. The regression is in his pottying...he is having constant pottying accidents. For months he has been consistently peeing in the potty but now has been going in his underwear for 4 days. Can anyone advise on why he seems to need zinc sulfate? Is zinc sulfate available Anywhere in capsules? Perhaps zinc methionine would be worth a try. We are chelating lead and mercury with DMSA and ALA and are on round 6. Thank you, Rose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 My boy does much better on liquid vitamins than on capsules. Could it be due to the absorption?
