Zinc

I started taking this in Gluconate form but never saw any benefit from it. I was also supplementing on Green Tea (2 cups per day) which I found out was actually making my skin WORSE. After stopping Green Tea I continued taking Zinc but I still had no improvement and suspected all of these supplements were making things worse. Also, 50mg can still be considered a high dose and after at least 2 months of high doses of Zinc you may experience rapid hair loss! I had to stop taking this and actually found my skin improved. I'm not clear right now but Zinc is useless for me. I believe my acne is pretty much fructose induced.

wasnt' able to use it long enough to see any results because it made me so sick.

i guess i feel neutral about this product, since it seems to have nothing good or bad. i still take it though, since i still have some left. i guess its worth a try like anything else.

It didnt work. I wanted it to work so bad after seeing all the rave reviews. I had severe acne so I used it for 2 months and 3 weeks, and seen no results. I ended up going to a dermatologist because I was so devastated that this didnt work for me and i had millions of pimples/cysts all over my face!!! The dermatologist helped ALOT... I have no pimples or cysts now masha'Allah, (I use a combination of retin A at night and clindoxyl gel in the day).... but the search still continues for something over the counter, cheaper and natural....

No improvement in skin after over a month of use. Seemed to break me out when i first started using it and after i stopped taking it. No noticeable effects on acne. I did notice I got some unwanted hair growth. It increased libido. Zinc contributes to testosterone and I noticed when I ate a bunch of oysters, these side effects occurred. Not really a deterrent in itself, just the hair growth and no change made me figure it's not worth it.

I've taken this for about 3-4 months straight. For the past month i haven't taken it at all. I see no difference in my skin. But hey why not give it a try. May work you if it truly did for others. May prevent colds if anything. *Virtually impossible to know when taking this whether this is what exactly is making your skin clear or one of the other things you're doing to treat your skin.

I've been taking zinc as a supplement for about two weeks. I take 3 50mg pills in the morning, and 3 50mg pills after dinner. So far I have not seen ANY improvements for my skin. I am still getting frequent breakouts. I'm also taking B-complex supplements along with the zinc one. Should I increase my dosage for zinc to more than 300mg per day? or should I decrease my intakes? how long does it take usually to see some results? I am so frsutrated after reading everyone's comments and that it seems to work for most of the people. Am I just being impatient or is it REALLY not working for me?
