thanks arab I cant take vit C get tummy problems can I take zinc on its own ? is it in tablet form

[greygoose in reply to frian]

You can, and it is.

[Arab in reply to frian]

I buy the effervescent Vit C with Zinc, and I find that easier to take - and washes down all the other supplements as well!

Boots Chemist will do this, or any larger supermarket.

Zinc you can buy on its own or it's often included ( check the label) in any good multivitamin with minerals.
