Quick Tips for Zinc
- If you’re sensitive: choose bisglycinate — typically gentler on the stomach.
- If you tolerate well: picolinate offers very efficient uptake; take with food.
- Start low, go steady: common maintenance is 10–25 mg/day elemental zinc.
- Don’t overdo it: stay at or below 40 mg/day elemental zinc unless advised by a practitioner.
- Mind copper balance: long-term zinc can lower copper — ensure your multi includes copper or discuss adding ~1–2 mg/day.
- Space it out: separate zinc from iron/calcium by ~2 hours to reduce competition.
