So I've been taking 50mg of Zinc a day for just over a week now (9-10 days), in the form of Chelated Zinc Gluconate. While I have to say, there has been a definite slight reduction in oil for this first week - I'm still getting those small niggly annoying spots, and my face is still kind of 'angry' and inflamed. Is the initial step in reducing oil the first stage in healing from Zinc? To all you Zinc healers out there, are there significant reductions to come afer the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th week periods?

Before this, I've had red marks on my cheeks that had persisted for months before fading. In the week before getting the Zinc I had been taking 8,000iu of Vitamin A, and some Vitamin D3 also. I've always taken one fish oil/multivitamin in general for the past year anyway. Those red marks are reducing quite a lot thankfully. Now it's just a case of eliminating my 'active acne', prevention, and the hormonal/genetic factor.

So to anyone with major success frm Zinc (after all, it's one of the most widely popular/successful supplements in success rates) - what can one expect?

P.S. I'm taking two tablets of 25mg Chelated Zinc Gluconate a day to make it 50mg a day. Of course I'm not overdosing - but is that fine? The brand I take is from Holland and Barrett in the UK - http://www.hollandandbarrett.com/pages/pro...d=438&sid=0
