I had something similar happen to me lately.
I decided I was going to be healthier once I graduated college back in December. Eating the right foods lifting weights cardio etc etc
I got a blood test a month or two ago and they said everything was fine but my folic acid was low. and to eat more fruits and veggies and take a multivitamin.
My entire life my diet has been complete shit. I have eaten more fruits and veggies since December than I have.....ever. i eat fruits and vegetables every single day.
It was bizarre hearing that.

This is why you idiots should not be self-diagnosing yourself and binging on vitamins and minerals you read about on anonymous imageboards and roidhead forums if you don't fucking understand how your body processes them.

multivitamins are cool though, right?
>>36679101
Probably because your body over compensates for the huge amount of zinc you're putting into it by not producing any and just passing it through. Just eat red meat and stop being retarded.
Why do people fixate and obsess over things as insignificant as Zinc? It's like taking a granule of coffee and thinking it's going to help your depression.

So basically you took one of the many actually worthless zinc supplements on the market for 10 years because you did no research. I'm sure this isn't the first time in your life that your mental retardation has manifested itself. It's more than likely a recurring lesson that you're incapable of learning.
>tfw been taking 5-10 times recommended dose (61-111mg/day) for 10 months

What if you don't want heart disease or cancer?
>>36679559
recommended dose is 30mg
Yes you'll be fine
Take less though, no point in taking more than 50mg

Is it a zinc with calcium pill? Don't take zinc with calcium, it's worthless.
body absorbs about 1-6% of any supplement you take on average. Taking any sort of sups is a meme and a waste of money unless a doctor explicitly tells you to

if taking supplements is a meme why would a doctor tell you to?

LabDoor is a nonprofit website that tests the most common supplements in a lab, and gives you the real readings rather than the shit they market on the label.

If you took a biology class you would realize how fucking retarded you are. Every macro nutrient (carbs, protein and fat) get converted into glucose which is used by every single cell in your body who turns it into atp for energy. Eating sugar doesn't cause cancer or heart disease you fucking moron.
