A member asked:
Can zinc supplements delay your period if you just started taking them three days before your period was suppose to start?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Studies have shown (although weakly) that taking zinc in certain doses can help to lessen menstrual cramps. That being said, a zinc deficiency may cause a delay in menses. Taking regular doses of zinc should not prevent your period.
