I started taking these tablets because I suspected I had zinc deficiency and YES i have it. I started taking ONE tablet every night and then one night I made a huuuuuuuuuge mistake and took these on an empty stomach, oh boy, you have no idea how much I regret that. It's like I was having a baaaad hangover and had drank a bottle of vodka, that's how sick and naseous I felt. so DON'T TAKE THESE ON AN EMPTY STOMACH, GOT IT?! So ok, now this DOES work, if I take it everyday for a month I will see a huge difference on my nails, libido and less hairloss. So I recomend but i think 50 mg is too strong! And since our bodies don't store zinc, we have to take it everyday to see results, so i think I'll try a different one.

Been taking 1 capsule for 4 months now. No significant effects on my immune system or acne.

I use these in my own arthritis remedy when I cook my oatmeal I add half teaspoon of Epsom salt ,a zinc tablet, selenium tablet and some boron in a weak solution made by dissolving half a teaspoon of borax in a 2 quarts of water this works the best for me. The problem with this brand is I have to crush the tablets otherwise they don't dissolve and the oatmeal will not absorb the zinc, other brands I have not had to do this.

Took this after food but still felt nauseous.... 50mg seems a bit too strong would recommend that u work ur way up to 50mg instead of starting on 50mg straight if u are new to supplementing w zinc. also causes insomnia/bad sleep quality for me when i take it. will not repurchase. but it is value for $. if u are ok with 50mg and zinc doesnt cause u side effects like nausea or insomnia, go ahead:)

At first I took it every morning after breakfast, and I soon noticed after a few days, that I'd get headaches in the morning, feel light headed and my chest would feel tight. I suspected it was the zinc and did abit of research. I was probably over dose on Zinc because the recommended daily intake is 15 - 25mg, and 1 pill gives 50mg! I don't know about the rest, but I intend to cut it into 3 pieces or 4 pieces and take a piece daily. My advice is to just be cautious upon taking these as some of you might supper from overdose of zinc

Great product, but the amount of zinc for day is too high (300% of the daily amount) so it makes me feel sick. Gave a few for my friends with same result.

Need to take with large meals as it makes me nauseous otherwise.

i didnt realise when i ordered the pills that they were 333% the daily recommended intake (as stated in the supplementary facts above). so fault not on the product but the buyer needs to be sure this is what they are looking for.
