In an effort to prevent catching covid, I added Zinc Bisglycinate (50 mg) and Quercetin LipoMicel Matrix (250 mg) to my usual Vitamin C, D and Multivitamin regimen.
About 90 minutes later I experienced painful stomach cramps followed by torrential diarrhea. Thank God it didn't manifest sooner as I was driving for about an hour before the cramps started.
I'm a bit gun-shy to try them again, even individually. Thoughts?
I take Zinc Picolinate 50 mg, Quercetin with Bromelain 800 mg, and 8,000 mg of D3 every night, (plus a bunch more things). Have for 3 years with no issue.
However when I first tried Zinc, I did so because a blood test showed a possible deficiency. So, I thought, well, I'll take a big dose to get me started.
I took 100 mg and got nauseous real quick. A couple days later, I tried 25mg with no reaction and stayed there for a long while. Since Covid, I have increased my daily dose to 50 mg and that's been fine, also.
So, too much Zinc to start? Or, the wrong kind of Zinc. That's my guess. Good luck!
