Always take with food, and begin with 1/2 a tablet.

The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) is a set of dietary intake recommendations for various nutrients established by government health agencies, such as the Food and Nutrition Board in the United States. The RDA values are designed to provide guidance on the amount of a specific nutrient that a healthy individual needs to consume daily in order to meet their nutritional requirements and reduce the risk of deficiency diseases. The RDA values are generally calculated based on the average needs of a particular population group (e.g., age, sex, life stage) and take into consideration factors such as absorption, metabolism, and excretion of the nutrient. The goal of setting RDAs is to ensure that the majority of individuals in a population receive enough of the essential nutrients to maintain good health and prevent nutrient deficiencies. On the other hand, therapeutic doses refer to nutrient intakes that are higher than the RDAs and are often used for medical purposes, such as treating certain medical conditions or achieving specific health outcomes beyond just preventing deficiencies. These higher doses are sometimes referred to as "megadoses" or "pharmacological doses." Therapeutic doses can be significantly higher than the RDAs and might be recommended under the guidance of a healthcare professional. The concept of therapeutic doses being higher than the RDA is based on the idea that certain nutrients may have beneficial effects beyond just preventing deficiency diseases. These higher doses are often explored for their potential roles in managing specific health conditions, supporting optimal physiological function, and even preventing chronic diseases. It's important to note that while some nutrients might have well-established therapeutic uses, not all nutrients have been proven to be safe or effective at high doses. Some nutrients can have adverse effects or interactions with medications at high levels. Therefore, using therapeutic doses of nutrients should always be done under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider who can consider an individual's specific health status, medical history, and potential risks. In summary, the RDA provides guidelines for nutrient intake to prevent deficiency diseases, while therapeutic doses are higher amounts of nutrients that may be used for specific health purposes beyond just meeting basic nutritional requirements. The use of therapeutic doses should be carefully considered and managed by healthcare professionals.

Why wasn't I given a response

Hello Linda, I would recommend our formula of Zinc here at Alkaline For Life. Always take with food, and begin with 1/2 a tablet. I suspect that the issue is not the small amount of zinc contained in Emergen-C. I have also included a link to our office hours should you have any additional questions! shop.betterbones.com/collections/all-products/products/office-hours-w-dr-brown We recommend Alkaline For Life: 🌱Plant-based, Pharmaceutical Grade Products, shop here: alkalineforlife.com/collections/alkaline-for-life

Dear Jacqueline. Thank you for your kind words. My mission in life is to learn and to share and be able to help myself and others in that fashion.

Watch again :) 25-30 daily when feeling healthy and 70-80 mg when we feel a cold/ flu coming on to boost immunity!

@@DrSusanBrown should I take 25mg without copper?

Hello! On an average day, Dr. Brown typically takes 25-30 mg of zinc per day. When ill, research has found that taking up to 70 to 80 mg of zinc per day, but Dr. Brown mostly recommends taking 45-60 mg of zinc when sick. This is a daily recommendation. However, long-term zinc has may deplete copper, so making sure to take 1-2 mg of copper per day while supplementing with zinc is recommended.

@@DrSusanBrown okay thank you

Great question about balancing your zinc intake with dietary sources like steak! It's important to consider the amount of zinc you're getting through your diet when supplementing. Large portions of zinc-rich foods, like a big steak, can contribute significantly to your daily zinc requirement. On days when you consume a lot of zinc-rich foods, you might not need the full 30 mg from your supplement. It's all about maintaining a balance - too much zinc can interfere with copper absorption and vice versa. While it's important to balance your zinc intake, specific recommendations can vary based on individual health needs and dietary patterns. Since it's challenging to provide personalized advice on social media, I'd love to invite you to our group Zoom 'Office Hours' sessions: shop.betterbones.com/products/office-hours-w-dr-brown?_pos=1&_sid=f438ee86b&_ss=r These sessions are a great opportunity for more detailed discussions and to get tailored advice. Please feel free to join one of these calls to explore your dietary and supplement needs in more depth. Looking forward to assisting you further and helping you achieve your nutritional goals!

Most likely it is a filler or binder in the supplement not the Zinc itself. I would try a different brand.

It causes people to ignore questions

Fatigue can be many things but a great place to start (besides rest) is nutritional support. We do have a few blogs here: alkalineforlife.com/blogs/news/tagged/fatigue-energy and also a protocol here: alkalineforlife.com/collections/fatigue-energy-support

Taking 50 mg of zinc is much higher the the daily recommended amount. Though Zinc is important for recovery after a workout it would be better to consume through a diet that includes zinc-rich foods like shellfish, nuts, seeds, legumes, and dairy.

I had fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue and thought I wasn't going to make it another year was in congestive heart failure for quite a while ....I seriously got better from removing specific things from my diet initially like carbonated beverages , caffeine white bleached breads and rice and related foods ..sugar temporarily later I stopped consuming typical white processed sugar for organic raw cane sugar, coconut sugar, monk fruit, I would mix them together because they have nutritional values and are healthier but not the sweetest sweetener individually.. permanently stopped carbonated beverages white bread anything with high fructose corn syrup... Started drinking herbal teas chamomile peppermint green teas with other ingredients and the big thing was smoothies with added supplements and spirulina , astragalus....and wheat grass shots double shots ...made such an incredible improvement quickly saved my life ...truly without medicine pharma...of any kind .the teas are amazing as are the smoothies and supplements i pickled up the natural supplements .now I know that liquid whole food supplements...

Hello, Thank you for your comment! The recommended daily intake of zinc is generally around 25-30 mg for most adults. However, during illness, especially when experiencing symptoms like a cold or flu, some studies suggest that temporarily increasing zinc intake to 70-80 mg per day may have beneficial effects on the duration and severity of symptoms. It's important to note that this higher dose is typically recommended for short-term use during illness and should not be sustained for an extended period. That being said, individual responses to zinc can vary, and it's always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before making any significant changes to your supplement regimen. Additionally, the recommended maximum dose of 40 mg you mentioned may be a general guideline, and specific health conditions or individual factors could influence the appropriate dosage. If you have any concerns or specific health conditions, it's best to seek personalized advice from a healthcare provider to ensure you are meeting your nutritional needs safely. I hope this information helps clarify the dosage recommendations for zinc during illness!

@@DrSusanBrown I see your Triple Zinc+ contain Zinc 15mg (as citrate, aspatrate, glycinate).... is it 15mg elemental zinc?

Yes, when our Triple Zinc+ lists "Zinc 15mg (as citrate, aspartate, glycinate)," it refers to 15mg of elemental zinc. This means that the total amount of zinc you're getting from the compound, regardless of the form it's in (citrate, aspartate, or glycinate), adds up to 15mg. The label specifies the amount of actual zinc you are receiving. If you have concerns about dosage or specific health effects, please feel free to reach out to us directly at helpdesk@alkalineforlife.com and Learn more about our Triple Zinc+ here: alkalineforlife.com/products/triple-zinc

The zinc we recommend in this video, Alkaline for Life Triple Zinc+: alkalineforlife.com/products/triple-zinc contains 3 different bioavailable activated forms of zinc, as citrate, aspartate, and glycinate, which are all forms of elemental zinc that are chelated or bound to different molecules to enhance absorption and bioavailability in the body. This zinc is also paired with synergistic nutrients & herbs!

The absorption of zinc from dietary sources can vary, and it's not necessarily a straightforward process where your body absorbs 100% of the zinc you consume. Several factors influence zinc absorption, including dietary factors, the form of zinc consumed, and individual differences.

@@DrSusanBrown Thank you so much, i ask because google said 40MG is daily upper limit, but right now i eat 50mg elemental zinc per day and i exceeded daily need will this bad for my health?
