I'm trying to understand the difference between Zincovit tablets and general multivitamin tablets. Which one would you recommend I take to boost my immunity? Also, is there a best time of day to take them for someone who's generally healthy?

For a normal person looking to boost immunity, both Zincovit and a multivitamin tablet can be beneficial. The best time to take these supplements is usually after meals to enhance absorption. Consistency in taking the supplements daily is key to seeing the benefits in the long run. Remember, supplements should not be a substitute for a healthy diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. If you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications, it's always best to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new supplement regimen.

I'm really concerned about whether it's safe to use Betadine 10 solution, the kind that's labeled for wound cleaning, as a gargle. The bottle specifically says it's for external use only, and I don't want to do anything harmful. Could you let me know if it's okay to use this way or if I should avoid it?

No, Betadine 10% solution, which is typically labeled for external use only, should not be used for gargling or any internal use
