Most of us here prefer to introduce supplements " low and slow " to avoid bad side effects. ====>For some, certainly for us, zinc did cause extreme nauseau at even 10 mgs on an empty stomach.

Andy has repeatedly, repeatedly said it is not necessary to give zinc on an empty stomach, we never did and her zinc levels are fine. If you want to give it on an empty stomach and it doesn't cause problems, fine, just not in any way critical. And I have read some interesting studies that talk about the advantage of the body getting all the nutrients simultaneously. Agree, zinc was enormously helpful here in terms of increasing appetite as well as being a general immune help.
