A member asked:
Hi i am thinking of taking 15mg daily zinc supplement. will this cause me gastritis ? if i take them with food is that better ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: 15mg of Zinc daily is unlikely to cause any GI symptoms. It is often used in 3rd world countries to keep children well. Zinc is contained in meats, seafood and cereals. If you don't eat these foods taking Zinc 15mg a day is a good idea. All the best.
