StevieS, Uk Dec 19th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Can be a "cure" if you've got the defficiency. Cons: Doesnt always work and the supplements can contain ingredients such as iodine. Bottom Line: Worth a try, I think its helped a little with me. Could be very useful. Recommended: Yes Usage: StevieS has used this item for a few weeks. Was this comment helpful?

Sunny Kiwi, New Zealand Dec 13th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Noticed that my skin was great everytime I drank probiotic drinks w/ zinc or protein shakes w/zinc. I've tried everything... roaccutane etc. Nothing works. PLus I'm in my mid 20's so thought I'd be past this! BUt it works! Cons: none, although I wish I had been told, rather than through trial and error Bottom Line: I had deep bumps and scattered acne all over my neck, jawline and back. now with zinc it has completely cleared up!!!

IsZitOverYet, GA Dec 6th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Cleared skin within a month, helps with scarring and healing current acne. Cons: Must eat on a full stomach or you will get sick Bottom Line: I've been taking zinc for about 4 months and it works GREAT - it helps with the texture of my skin, helps to heal everything, and my hair even looks better and is a lot healthier - does not fall out much at all. My mind even seems to be clearer. I take 50mg of zinc gluconate daily. Recommended: Yes Usage: IsZitOverYet has used this item for a few months. Was this comment helpful?

Kate, Los Angeles Dec 1st, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Helps Acne and Scarring!! Cons: Pills are very hard to swallow. Took three weeks to see results. I had an initial breakout. Bottom Line: I used 50 mg chelated zinc with nature's bounty fish oil. I had a bad initial breakout and it took 3 weeks for me to see results but the acne seems to finally be improving. Keep at it!!

AD, Canada Nov 26th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: None Cons: Dried out my skin and didnt help my acne Bottom Line: I used 50 mg of zinc gluconate for 3 weeks and saw no improvements at all...if anything i started breaking out around my cheeks which doesnt usually happen although i cant say this is due to the zinc. Not everyone`s acne is due to a zinc defficiency so this might not work for everyone. Recommended: No Usage: AD has used this item for a few weeks. Price Paid: 7.00 Was this comment helpful?

Rony, Philippines Oct 11th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: As effective as antibiotics without the side effects, very affordable. Cons: May cause nausea. Bottom Line: Zinc Picolinate has been the most effective acne treatment for me. Thank God I learned about it! I usually get these large, inflammed acne every now and then. I 1st learned about Zinc from my best friend's brother, who swears by its effectiveness. He takes Solgar Zinc Gluconate from Healthy Options. Since I am a Gold member of GNC, I first bought GNC Zinc Gluconate 50mg and took it once a day for 3 months. Sadly, I didn't see any improvement on my skin while taking it. After a few months, I decided to try Zinc again. This time, I bought Zinc Picolinate 30mg with 2mg Copper, also from GNC. I took it once a day and saw slight improvement on my skin for the 1st month. On my 2nd month I decided to take it 2x a day (once in the morning and once again in the evening) & my skin has been clear with ZERO acne for a month! After I finished all the tablets I wasn't able to buy another jar immediately and I instantly had 3 huge pimples in just a week. Now I'm sure Zinc Picolinate is Recommended: Yes Usage: Rony has used this item for a few months. Price Paid: 14.50 Was this comment helpful? (Yes) (No) (Report as inappropriate)

Sarah A, New York Sep 28th, 2007 How well it works Agreeability Affordability

Pros: Has cured me of acne i can;t believe it! Cons: none Bottom Line: have taken 50mg of the element zinc as zinc chelate (225mg zinc chelate) daily for 5 wks. HUGE improvement, my skin has never been this good on anything (have tried diane 35/roacutane/loads topicals) have stopped wearing concealer for the first time in 10 yrs. Note bottles say zinc chelate 75mg, this is only 15mg of actual zinc! don;t take with calcium or iron, or with wheat/whole grains as they contain phylates which block zn absorbtion.
