A member asked:

What is a therapeutic zinc capsule and where can i buy it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Useful only for rare: Have you had surgery to combat obesity? Do not take this unless you have a precise diagnosis. Indications are rare. Unfortunately it is sold by con men who make false claims in an effort to take some of your money.There is no legitimate "therapeutic" zinc capsule. If you have medical problems, see a legitimate physician.
