This study examined the effectiveness of a nutritional supplement containing zinc, among other ingredients, in preventing the recurrence of benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), a condition that can cause intense dizziness. We followed a diverse group of 128 patients with a history of frequent BPPV episodes. They were divided into three groups based on their vitamin D levels and received different treatment plans.
In one group, those with low vitamin D received a daily supplement containing zinc, along with other antioxidants and vitamin D3. We noticed a remarkable decrease in BPPV relapses in this group after six months compared to where they started. However, for the groups that had sufficient vitamin D and particularly those receiving zinc without vitamin D, we did not find significant benefits in reducing dizziness recurrence.
While zinc was part of a combined treatment approach, it didn’t demonstrate a standalone positive impact on dizziness. Our findings suggest that while zinc might play a role alongside other supplements, it shouldn't be solely relied upon for preventing BPPV relapses in patients with sufficient vitamin D levels.

Dizziness on dosage

The product appears to be of good quality, but the 50 mg capsule is too high for me. After my first dose, I experienced dizziness and nausea, and the same effects returned with a second dose, leading me to discontinue it.

Not for me; I dislike this form of zinc as it makes me feel dizzy and sleepy after taking it.

Dizziness persists
This supplement sometimes causes me dizziness, and my wife experiences stomach aches, even after reducing the dose and taking it at mealtimes.
