Three key factors when taking zinc supplements. 1. Zinc is absorbed best when taken on an empty stomach, either 1 hour before or two hours after a meal. 2. Keep to a lower dose of 15mg per capsule per day, to reduce the risk of causing imbalances of other key minerals. 3. Look to forms of zinc that have high abroption, like zinc glycinate. And make sure no matter what brand you’re using .. to always read the label and follow directions for use. | Honour Health
