Zinc can make me stop smelling bad?

HAVE YOU HEARD OF THIS!??!

Long story short: I smell (people have told me) and having great hygiene isn't enough for me. People have recommended zinc because it's supposed to help with body odor.

My questions:
Could something harmful happen to my body if I take zinc supplements?
How much should I take?

I take zinc every day because of a health problem. I have been for over 3 years now. I have not experienced any adverse reactions. I take 25mg of Zinc every day. As far as helping body odor, I do not know if it will help as I never had a problem with it.

probably not, just take what ever the recommended dosage is on the bottle. why not try prescription deodorant? ask your doctor, they have that you know.

Well I have heard...if you stink take zinc. My dad has an odor and my mom says it is from oil glands, she has him dab alcohol behind his ears (I have no idea where else though)...another thing you might try is to take liquid chlorophyl...it is an internal deodorizer....also...my family uses a spray deodorant called Nobo (stands for No Body Order I suppose), it is awesome.

try deodorant and cologne my man

Your smell might be coming from your diet. Sometimes spices like curry, or foods like onions and garlic come through your pores. That usually happens if you eat them all the time, like it's a part of your every day diet. You might just modify what you're eating.
