Zinc

[mrs banadinovich]

I have read various reports of success with zinc supplements for depression. Has anyone heard this or have any first hand experience with zinc. I imagine that as a common mineral found in many foods it will be harmless to take along with SJW or other meds. Taking zinc appears to enhance the positive effects of anti-depressants, so may be useful with SJW. I am currently taking zinc and magnesium as well as SJW.

When taking zinc long-term they say to take a copper supplement too as Zinc uses copper to metabolize. If you are already getting your daily value of copper some other way (multivitamin or food rich in copper), then thats fine too.

I didn't know that, thanks for the info ! I'll have a search around and find out some good food sources of copper. :lookaround:

Woops, I meant that Zinc at higher doses can inhibit copper metabolization.:lookaround: At any rate, its still the same just make sure you take get your copper and other vites. :glasses:
