A member asked:
Why does zinc 10mg make me feel weak/tired and how can i help this? is 10mg of zinc ok to take long term safely without offsetting my copper balance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zinc : Overdosing on zinc can interfere with iron absorption, thereby make someone anemic and then tired. In addition, it can cause significant nerve damage. I would see your doctor. check your zinc levels, iron, and blood counts
