Zinc

Post by Gabes-Apg »

I don't recall who I was replying to when we talked about zinc for teeth gum health and how much.

Due to my Pyrrole, I will be having 100mg of elemental zinc per day. Til now I was having about 15-20mg elemental per day.

The rdi for zinc is 15mg or 0.2 mg/kilo
If there is deficiency 1-2mg/kilo/day

Key thing to note, iIs to tally the elemental zinc. Like magnesium, there are different forms, and these are absorbed differently.

Gabes,

I think it was me. Thanks for the info. I'm hoping to go to the Health Food Store this wk. I'm still waiting for my Vit D test before I go.

Thanks,
Connie
