In general, you do not need a prescription to buy zinc supplements. They are typically available over-the-counter at pharmacies and health stores. If you have specific health concerns or conditions, it's a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.

What is the difference between prescribed vitamin D and over-the-counter vitamin D?

Prescribed vitamin D is recommended by a healthcare provider based on individual needs and health conditions, while over-the-counter vitamin D can be purchased without a prescription. Prescription vitamin D may be a higher dose or a specific form based on medical advice, whereas over-the-counter options are typically lower doses and more general in nature.


Is zinc and zincum the same thing?

Vitamin C and Zinc are not the same. Vitamin C is a vitamin. Zinc is a mineral. Both, however, are antioxidants. Vitamin and mineral antioxidants include Vitamins A, C, and E, and minerals Zinc and Selenium. There are, however, other organic carbon compounds that also have anti-oxidative properties such as polyphenols and flavonoids... I can see your confusion as many people take Vit. C and/or Zinc as a natural cold prevention/remedy. However, among the nutritional community and according to the American Dietetic Association, there is no clinically significant evidence that's supports the idea that over-supplementing will prevent or cure a cold. Once you receive 100% of the daily value of any vitamin or mineral, your body will either excrete it via urine or feces (in the case of the water soluble vitamin C) or store it in your adipose tissue and other organs (in the case of fat soluble vitamins like A,D,E, and K). Storing too much of a vitamin is dangerous and will cause toxicity. PS. I'm a registered dietitian ;)


What is a associated with increased absorption of zinc?

Consuming zinc with a source of protein, such as meat, fish, poultry, or nuts, can increase its absorption. Foods high in phytates, such as whole grains and legumes, can inhibit zinc absorption. Vitamin C and animal sources of heme iron can also enhance zinc absorption.
