How much is too much zinc?
We are chelating with TD-DMSA. My son was having some “behaviors” that leadus to believe he need more zinc. We doubled and then tripled his zinc doseand we’re seeing wonderful things - very calm, happy, spontaneous languageand the “behaviors” are gone.
Can you OD on zinc?
We will be doing a full round of testing next week, but I’m not sure if Ishould be concerned about this zinc dose or not.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Yes. The typical “daily maximum” is the weight of the child plus20mg. So for example, if your child weighs 50 pounds, you can give asmuch as 70mg zinc per day.
