Zinc

I have been taking one 50 mg zinc tablet each day for the past three days, not to help with acne but to help with immune defense. I've yet to see if I get over my cold any faster because of the zinc, and I haven't noticed much change in my complexion (except that my face is a little feverish!) The first day: I took the zinc first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, and vomitted it right back up. The second day: I took it after a meal and felt fine. The third day: I took it after a pack of Twizzlers and some Chex Mix, and felt nauseas for a while. Blah! So, it sounds like what everyone is saying is true: Don't take it on an empty stomach!

Yeah well it can help your acne, no doubt but don think it will clear ALL of your acne .. atleast it didnt for me anyways .. it stopped working after about 2-3weeks, like everything else i tried...

I am curious as to what brand name of Zinc is everyone purchasing.

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 have been using Zinc 30mg for a while now. However I do not have any headache since I am taking it with food sometimes with breakfast and sometimes with dinner. It is good, I will keep using it until I find more cons and I will keep posting. At least try it out, they sell it pretty cheap too.

I took Zinc for a few weeks and noticed no difference what so ever. Be careful because as everyone says, it makes your stomach turn, especially if you take it on empty!

1st day of taking this but seriously ive laid in the sun for 3 hours and took 2 50mg zinc tablets and my skin is looking lush i dont no if this is because of the sun but litterally i feel so good!! im not talking rubbish i'll keep you posted too see my progress but atm its looking good wooot!!!!!!!

Hasn't worked yet.

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?

When I was using this, I had severe acne. It did not do anything in the one month I used this. I think some of these holistic medications are overrated.
