Ever done the Zinc Taste Test to check your zinc levels anyone?
I had mine done maybe a year ago at a naturopath. It is supposed to taste nasty if you swill the liquid in your mouth. It was tasteless for me which meant my zinc levels were low.

I am not normally someone who gets into "fads" things like that. Zinc does seem to work. 100-150mg a day right now and I also have had more women paying attention to me. I have had several women say "hi" to me on the street. Usually never happens like this. I have had women at work give me that look like if we were not at work, we would be taking care of business. Only been taking zinc a couple weeks. Will have to report back if it seems to increase.

Bought some Zinc while I was out looking at colognes today. The only bottles of Zinc I could find were either a bottle of liquid, or a bottle of tablets labelled: "Zinc complex - Healthy skin. Acne" mix. The label states 25mg of elemental Zinc, 2mg Magnesium, 8.3mg Magnesium in some other compound, 25mg vitamin B6, and 375(micro)g vitamin A. Bottle recommended one tablet a day. I popped 2 as I was leaving the store, and I plan to take another couple before bed. Felt nauseous for about 20 minutes, but after eating food and having a drink I was fine.

OP it could also be something else you're doing or taking. Are you doing NoFap? Are you taking any other supp maybe? Are you doing anything in your life that's maybe putting you in a better mind state? Etc...

Doubled up my dose of zinc this morning and puked when I got to work. I don't think it has anything to do with the doubling up of zinc, more so that I took that, along with fish oil and a multi vitamin upon waking up on an empty stomach. Always eat with meal. Which i usually do, but I was a dumb ass this morning apparently..

As far as I know, no copper in it.
Taking zinc without copper will cause imbalance.
The OP bought this one, and it has copper in it.

Caps, not pills. 3 mg per kg body weight. So if you're 80 kg like me, you'll take 240 mg (8 caps since one cap is 30 mg). Please don't take all 8 at once. Spread them out throughout the day. I am not a doctor so please be careful.

Tablets we're fuking up my stomach bad. I suspect you get a finer quality Zinc in capsules also. Its worth the little extra price to get capsules. The L-Optra-Zinc recommend in here has been amazing so far, very easy to take and I can scale down my dosages since my body absorbs it much quicker then the tabs.

I am cutting it down. I was taking like 400-500mg in the tablets but this new stuff in caplets with the Copper is way more concentrated and I am pissing alot out. Right now I am taking 150-200 mg spaced out.

Started taking zinc again last week. I take it with food, but I still get nauseous. It never really happened before. Taking 100mg of zinc and a 25mg magnesium.
I'm hoping it gets to the point where I don't get nauseous anymore.
