Brief Answer:
Can take but it would not help

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic.

You can take Zincovit C but it would not help you with your muscle weakness. Rather, apply hot compress and exercise regularly (after consulting a physical therapist). Take juicy fruits like citrus fruits as they contain plenty of potassium and should help in effective muscle contraction.

The very fact that you are overweight indicates that you need to exercise regularly. Also get your thyroid profile checked.
