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.

Good. I don't feel dizziness after taking it, which is a marked improvement. Previously, other zinc products made me feel unwell.

Reduced dizziness
Excellent! I used to feel nauseous with other zinc types, but switching to picolinate salt has meant I can take it without experiencing dizziness or discomfort.

I’m very pleased with this manufacturer’s zinc. I plan to take it for three months, then have a break for another three. I've had no unpleasant sensations like nausea or dizziness when taking one a day, as suggested by the manufacturer.

No dizziness
Good zinc for immune support. I’ve taken this zinc multiple times before and it positively affects my hair, nails, and skin. It boosts my immunity, preventing sickness, even during an outbreak. My hair looks voluminous and shiny. The supplement is well absorbed. If I feel dizziness initially, I just reduce the dose. Consulting a doctor beforehand is advisable.

Hope for dizziness
I ordered it for the first time. I previously took zinc citrate which caused a bit of dizziness. I hope this picolinate version will be easier to take.

Dizziness noted
The picolinate form is considered the best for digestibility. The dosage is good, but taking it on an empty stomach causes dizziness and nausea. The composition isn’t perfect for me, so I won’t buy again.
