Zinc side effect- loss of smell and taste

0 Recommendations

Does anybody have knowledge on side effect of Zinc; loss of smell and taste? I know that I cannot afford not taking zinc. Has anybody got treated regarding loss of smell and taste?

I love food and I cannot smell certain things and taste sourness.... and it is getting worse...

Let me know if you have experienced same issue and have fixed it.

Thank you.

A lot of people with WD report losing some smell and taste functionality, regardless of whether they are taking zinc or other treatments. It hasn't happened to me. I don't know of anyone who has found a way to fix it other than following treatment recommendations.
