Nikki: Most drug store and supermarkets will have zinc, but you just have to read the labels. Most importantly, it is important to avoid zinc sulfate. The best zinc I found that was helpful are zinc acetate, zinc citrate, zinc gluconate. Chelated zinc varies greatly depending on what kinds of amino acid they have attached, and most companies won't even put that on the labels. With that kind of question mark, I tend to avoid. I personally prefer zinc acetate as I have had a lot of good results from that one. The biggest problems I have about zinc, is you need to do the 15 minute test. Put a zinc tablet in a glass of water. If it does not dissolve in 15 minutes, it is useless as the body cannot absorb them well.Replied by Jean (Texas) on 04/22/2018
Please check into chloroxygen. A product that has chlorphyll and copper in it. I heard that you cannot combine copper and zinc in the stomach at the same time because the zinc will bind the copper. So best to take Chloroxygen on an empty stomach in the morning and before bedtime and make sure your stomach is empty. Allow enough time for it to absorb. You must have copper in order for zinc to work.
I believe the chloroxygen may be able to help with the PH balance and cleanse the blood. It oxygenates the body. If anyone out there finds this is bad advice, PLEASE correct me!!!
