Do zinc supplements leave a metallic taste?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
They shouldn't: I take them and they don't taste metallic to me. Different people will taste the same things differently though so it may seem a bit metallic to you. If you experience a metallic taste in your mouth in general then it could be caused by taking certain meds or a vitamin deficiency.
