Zinc Gluconate supplement, is it Zinc 65 isotope or is it Zinc 66 or is it Zinc 64?
Q. Which Zinc isotope is given to us by pharmacies as dietary supplement? What is the biological halflife of Zinc in humans? 250d?
Asked by unknown - Sun Jan 17 16:58:53 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I don't believe they sort out the different isotopes of Zn for dietary suppliment use. That process would be very expensive and not really achieve anything beneficial. The naturally-occurring isotopes for Zn are: 64 - 48.89% 66 - 27.81% 68 - 18.57% 67 - 4.11% 70 - 0.62% There is a radioactive isotope with a half life of 245days (Zn 65), but I don't think it is naturally occuring and I don't think it would be in any suppliment either.

Would taking Zinc Gluconate with Vitamin B5 do any harm?
Q. Hi all, would taking Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5) and Zinc Gluconate together do any harm to my body or will they counteract each affects? Thanks
Asked by Car - Sat Aug 8 04:11:29 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. B5, pantothenic acid is found in just about every food we eat, animal or vegetable. Organ meats, salmon, eggs, beans, milk, and whole grains are the best sources. The best sources of zinc include beef, lamb, pork, crabmeat, turkey, chicken, lobster, clams and salmon. Good zinc food sources aside from meats are dairy products such as milk and cheese, yeast, peanuts, beans, and wholegrain cereals, brown rice, whole wheat bread, potato and yogurt. Of all these vegetarian zinc foods, pumpkin seeds offer one of the most concentrated non-meat food sources of zinc. Glucosamine occurs naturally in the body.In synthetic form it is derived from shellfish and is sold as a dietary supplement. It has shown no long-term beneficial effect according to… [cont.]

I am currently taking 30mg zinc Gluconate daily, will it by any chance increase my testosterone levels?
Q. I'm well built, feel healthy all the time and strong...what I really need is more bulk so will it help on thte long run or is it a waste of money?
Asked by aquakill1 - Wed Feb 20 05:01:48 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. This will improve your testosterone levels, but there are many other things you can do to naturally maximize your testosterone levels. Things like good sleep, heavy cardio, and compound exercises like squats, bench press, and dead lifts will boost your levels. Take ZMA (Zinc Monomethionine Aspartate, Magnesium Aspartate and vitamin B-6.) ZMA is a very popular and cheap vitamin supplement that is used to improve test levels. If you are over 35 it is also possible to get testosterone supplementation though your doctor because older men's testosterone levels naturally decline with age. Good luck!

Asked by boom - Sun Apr 20 02:11:09 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 40mg seems to be the upper limit, so I'd probably not do that again, however, I doubt doing it once is going to cause harmful effects, except a heck of a stomach ache. Probably vomiting, which will expel any undigested tablets. "Medications" like that really should be discussed with a doctor or pharmacist, especially if you're taking high doses. Since they're not regulated by the FDA, there isn't a dosage recommended that is definitely safe. Additionally, there are few proven benefits from taking it, so it's not necessarily something you need to take at all. Good luck -

Please help: Baby's Supplimentary and Medicine?
Q. I've got 2 questions: My son is 10.5 months old and: 1. I used to feed my baby son a kind of Multivitamin drops that contained Ferrous & Zinc gluconate. He had no problem taking it and it was so easy (He is usually tough at taking his supplimentaries!) but once his doctor knew it, he told me that it was useless. He told me that it was impossible to combine Ferrous and Zinc in one mixture and the manufacturer was definitely telling lie about having both of those elements. He mentioned that these kind of drops might not have Ferrous. He suggested me to feed my son Ferrous Sulphate drops seperately, instead. Ferrous Sulphate drops tastes and smells terrible.

First of all, they do lose their strenght and secondly, we don't really know what sort of reactions your body may have to the rest of the chemicals in them. Another suggestion was to ask a pharmacist, I second that, it won't hurt to see what they can help you with. It if was me, I wouldn't take them.
