Zinc's limited effect on dizziness
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.

Not suitable for me
It makes me dizzy, even when I cut the caplet. This treatment is not suitable for me, so I will look for an alternative.

It's a good preparation, but it is important to eat thoroughly before taking it, as it can lead to severe nausea and dizziness.

Over dosage issues
The dosage was too high! It made me very ill, and I discovered that taking over 40mg daily isn’t advisable, as this contains 50mg. I experienced extreme nausea and dizziness. However, these are tablets, so I plan to cut them into quarters.
