I've tried a zinc based sunscreen 3 times now. Each time, several hours later I get angry. Why would that be? Zinc is generally supposed to be calming, not irritating.

That's a good question. I eat well and balanced (by Peat standards, yes). I sometimes have adsorption issues with minerals though.Are you getting enough calcium/magnesium/copper? Zinc intake can exacerbate pre-existing deficiencies of some other nutrients.
You've misunderstood. This is a zinc oxide sunscreen, an alternative to conventional sunscreens. Here are the ingredients:UV light decomposes sunscreen's ingredients to create unpredictably complex chemical cocktail being absorbed from skin to system.
I should add that I've gotten this reaction to oral zinc supplements too.
Nice distinction. The dopaminergic kind for sure.Can you describe a specific situation in which you noticed your anger? In my opinion, there are different permutations of anger or aggression.
For instance, I see dopamine aggression and serotonin/estrogen aggression. Dopamine aggression is being easily frustrated by other people being incompetent, slow, or in the way -- slowing the dopamine individual down in some way, they are being impeded from actualizing dopaminergic events. Serotonin aggression is the aggression that the Peatosphere acknowledges -- lashing out, a desire to inflict harm.
It's mostly zinc nano particles that are used. They are more active than bigger particles. Products are not necessarily labeled as containing zinc nano particles.Amount absorbed from zinc sunscreen would be insignificant and not enough, I believe, to cause systemic effects.
Low blood sugar perhaps?I've tried a zinc based sunscreen 3 times now. Each time, several hours later I get angry. Why would that be? Zinc is generally supposed to be calming, not irritating.
I do not react good to zinc supps too.
@methylenewhite -- Heavy metals easily take up residence in zinc receptor sites in the body, which is the case with most people. Zinc supplementation can easily knock those heavy metals out of zinc receptor sites, and if done too rapidly, can cause an increase of heavy metals circulating through the blood, making us feel ill. Zinc supplementation ideally should be started slowly, and accompanied by charcoal capsules (and/or bentonite clay) on an empty stomach as much as 2-3x/day.
Zinc supplementation will upregulate metallothionein synthesis, and MT binds heavy metals.
@Steven Bussinger -- Not sure exactly what you're saying, but my best guess is that you don't think zinc supplementation could cause heavy metals to enter the bloodstream and create serious problems. I've read fairly extensively that this does indeed happen, and can actually be a very dangerous situation. -- Always proceed cautiously when supplementing with zinc, especially if you're aware of past heavy metal exposures, and/or have heavy metals in your mouth (such as amalgam fillings and metal crowns).

Well, the first one was funny at least . . .Could it be that youre angry because you realize youre covered in white goo? Or perhaps some external element like Democratic primaries is what triggers you.
I encourage this line of inquiry even though I have no insight (as yet) about whether it pertains to me or not.I guess this is a possibility. You say heavy metals are knocked out of receptors sites by zinc. The presence of heavy metals in the bloodstream also upregulates MT synthesis -- but MT synthesis will only happen insofar as you have sufficient zinc. If heavy metals are wreaking havoc due to zinc supplementation, to me, this suggests zinc deficiency and heavy metal toxicity (and the heavy metal toxicity was probably exacerbated or even created by the zinc deficiency).
I've never come across anything saying that zinc releases heavy metals into the bloodstream, so I'd appreciate it if you could link some here. Finding relevant papers on Pubmed or Google Scholar can be extremely tedious sometimes.
We don't have any more information from OP, anyhow, so we're just talking in generalities at this point.
