    Dh started on zinc tablets end of last cycle so we are yet to see if it helps us out. He did however get lots of little pimples on his arms. Very weird!

    ETA: I juts thought I would put this in. I found it on the net. A few sites I looked at mentioned it.

    Dangers of taking too much Zinc:
    Intake of zinc should be kept to under 100 mg per day as larger amounts may result in nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, drowsiness and hallucinations. If you would ever take a zinc supplement, take it at night on an empty stomach, as zinc can interfere with the absorption of other minerals (iron and copper). Make sure that the zinc and iron levels are nearly the same amounts when taking a multi-vitamin.
