Lightbulb Daniella..

Given your long history of eating disorder, and the fact that you are still
working on that, I'd suggest you do one a day of the OptiZinc.

Do this for a month or so.

The typical dose to heal wounds/ulcers is 220mg 3 times a day.
Zinc 220mg is over the counter. But typically is only used by doctors.


OptiZinc is 30mg a tablet.

I suggest you read this monograph:
http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocente...inc/index.html

What I suggest for you is very mild. No where near any high levels.
here are two links to read:
http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/infocente...inc/index.html

And
http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/pag...54&pageindex=1
zinc is predominately excreted in the feces.

This article gives a table for SULs for zinc. Remember, elemental vs total weight.
This may be confusing.
