Vitamin C and Zinc are commonly taken together to boost the immune system. However, excessive intake of Vitamin C can cause diarrhea, nausea, and stomach cramps.
High doses of zinc can lead to a copper deficiency, suppress the immune system, and cause gastrointestinal issues.
It's important not to exceed the recommended daily allowances for both nutrients. People with hemochromatosis should be cautious as Vitamin C can increase iron absorption, which is not advisable in this condition.
Keep out of reach of children and do not consume if pregnant or breastfeeding.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute to a healthy diet and lifestyle.
