I take it sometimes as it is good for, amongst other things, the skin (any spotty people out there?!), hormonal inbalances, immune system and also psyche. I'm prone to the occasional bout of the grumps! I take it with vit C.

I have no medical background so I only comment from previous research and as an intermittent zinc user.

Where is the spell checker on this thingy?
I thought it was also good for killing off the cold virus in upper respiratory tract when taken in those chewy tablet form...?
