Hello all. To the previous poster who said there is hardly any scientific proof that this condition exists, that couldn't be more untrue. Thousands upon thousands of people have been found to have this condition, and treated successfully. A psychiatrist friend of mine who used to work at John Hopkins even knew about it fifteen or so years ago.
As for the question about how much zinc to take. I just finished reading a book by Dr. Pfeiffer, and he addresses that. However, he seems to contradict himself. He says to take "30 mg of elemental zinc, which is equivalent to about 300 mg zinc gluconate." But then later in the book he says specefically to take "30 mg zinc gluconate twice daily." So I'm completely confused based on his comments, but that's what he says haha. Sorry I couldn't help more
