This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
I don't know if that enormous dosage of zinc can enlarge your prostate, but it might well do doamage to your health.
What is referred to as the tolerable upper limit of daily dosage is 40 mg per day and you are taking 180 mg - more than four times the recommended maximum!
It is always worth looking at the scientific studies when making decisions. They may not always be correct because data accumulates over time, but they are more likely to be a good guide than something written by an author who is selling something.
