Zinc

Zinc is a mineral that plays a role
in many different processes in the body.
The results of limited studies
of MS and zinc are unclear.
Some studies indicate that zinc
levels are low in people with MS.
Other studies indicate that zinc levels are high in MS,
that zinc may activate the immune system, and that zinc
supplementation may worsen an animal model of MS.

The RDA for zinc is 11 mg for men and 8 mg for women.
Given the uncertainties about zinc and MS,
it would seem preferable for people with MS
to avoid doses of zinc in excess of the RDA.
