A member asked:
Is it ok to take 10 mg zinc supplement on daily basis to enhance immunity during covid-19 times? are there any potential side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
GI upset: Zinc supplements can cause GI symptoms. There is no evidence that taking zinc will do you any good for anything. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
