"I had a weird red bumpy patch appear by one corner of my mouth. Not acne. Most likely perioral dermatitis. For two months I tried all sorts of moisturizers and antibacterial and antifungal and tea tree oil and zinc cream...nothing helped. It wasn't until I started taking supplemental zinc that it finally started to heal and go away! I also suspected I needed zinc because a couple of my lab results were slightly out of range and my dr said don't worry. But when i looked into them, they possibly indicated low zinc. That's also when I noticed that the inexpensive multivitamin gummy I've been taking does not include any zinc, whereas most do contain a little. So for me all signs pointed towards "try zinc".

This is the very best option I found because 1.) It is a sensible amount of zinc. Other brands have 40 or 50 mg and say take daily. Yowza, that is a lot of zinc...on the very upper end of what is considered safe, and keep in mind you're most likely getting some zinc naturally in foods also. Too much zinc can be harmful. That's why even at a lower dosage, this brand says to consider taking it every other day 2.) This is the only brand I found that includes a small amount of copper. Too much zinc will deplete copper! So this brand strikes the right "balance" to prevent you from doing more harm than good by taking a supplement. I will continue to take it every other day as my skin clears and then probably discontinue when I get a brand of multivitamin that does contain a little zinc, and take this extra zinc only if needed if skin issues return."

"These are the smallest capsule I have ever swallowed. Goes down very easily, no bad taste or aftertaste. I use this for fibromyalgia along with other things. In combination with other vitamins, probiotis, and diet, it seems to be helping me."
