Hey,
Ive seen alot of topics about zinc being reallllyyy good for your skin, so do they come in pills or what do they come in?, and how much mg should i get? im a 15 yr old male. are the doses different in winter/summer weather? (warm, cold etc...) im still taking 150mg clindamyicin pills also.
Also, is drinking green tea everyday in the morning good for your skin? |

Zinc is especially good for males (every time a male ejaculates he loses Zinc  )
You do not really need different doses for summer and winter, I tend to take higher doses in the winter as my body becomes more run down.
I buy Zinc in tablet form from the local health shop, but it is widely available and can be purchased from over the internet.
25mg is a good starting dose, especially for a male of your age, then reduce down to 15mg a day. Although if you eat a healthy diet ful of foods rich in Zinc (nuts) then 15mg a day should be sufficeint.
Yes Yes Yes drinking green tea in the morning every day is fantastic  I drink s**t loads of green tea, as I am not too keen on the taste I like the combined teas: green tea with peppermint or green tea with blackcurrent, again widely available. |

 m, where can i get these zinc tablets? someone link me, and i will also look at my local drug store.
so do 25mg (once a day) for about 2 months then knock it down to 15mg (once a day)?
i actually really like just 100% green tea, its pretty good in the morning after eating a waffle w/ syrup  |

| I don't see why not, take one a day for a couple of weeks and see how you get on, 50mg is a high dose and should be fine for a short term intake but I would recomend taking a smaller dose long term. |

this is a bit off topic...
I was wondering if the brewed GT is better or the one in the powder form?
i find the GT in powder form (matcha) tastes better... |
