Extremely sensitive to zinc

Is there an alternative supplement to take aside from zinc? I get really nauseous when I take any form of zinc and I am really susceptible to the flu.

Answer #1

Well if your just looking for an immune system booster other than zinc, vitamin c is always good. I don’t know how big you are on herb supplements, but I take quite a few when I get a cold. I take Astragalus & Echinacea-Golden Seal Complex when I have a cold/flu. But you don’t want to take those two all the time or they loose their effectiveness. For everyday you can take Elderberry Extract. I recommend capsule form b/c the liquid is nasty.

Try going into a health foods store and asking for items other than zinc you can help to pre-emptively fight off the flu.

hope that helps.
