What people say about Zinc and focus
“If I miss a few days I notice I will start to become weepy and lethargic. It also helps me focus and with brain fog.”
“When I supplemented zinc, it made my menstrual cramps excruciating... I felt cognitive benefits but I cant deal with that level of pain every month.”
“I took 100mg of zinc every day for a week by itself and saw a massive improvement.”
“Whenever I feel sick and *almost* vomit due to taking Zinc...I feel super crisp and clear afterwards...It's most likely making you sick when you don't have much in your stomach.”
