Zinc Benefits?

what are the benefits of taking ZINC?

I wouldn't take a lot of it every day... the amount you get in a multivitamin should be just fine.

When you're sick, with a cold or something, zinc lozenges help sooo much, though. Start popping them when you feel a cold coming on; between that and extra vitamin C, you will feel much better very quickly.

Oh, and zinc can irritate your stomach if you take high doses without any food in your tummy. I don't mind too much, but if it bothers you, have some food with it.
