Zinc

Kesa27

Hi does anyone use Zinc as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis or researched it at all ?

Never have @Kesa27

but look at this information:

It looks as though too much could actually be harmful to our bones😮

I take a vegan multivitamin which has zinc in it.

I just take a multi-vitamin as I don't eat much fresh food.

Hi Kesa27,

I use it on a daily basis, unfortunately we don’t get enough Zinc from food, so I take as a supplement. I found the half moons on my fingernails have disappeared except my thumbs! So it must be making a difference ☺️

I use Vimergy products sold only by aggressive health in the UK, as they don’t add any fillers or unnecessary chemicals.

Best of luck with your research;)

Hi@Dali

Welcome to the online community,glad you have found us.You don't say what type of arthritis you have it would be good to know although I see you have suffered from a lot of other things by your posts and you are responding to others posts which is great.

Take care and keep safe and keep on chatting

RA is immuno-suppressent. I supplement a careful diet with zinc 10mgs & vit D3 (if necessary discuss latter dose with Pharmacist).

Good luck.
