A member asked:
I take 50 mg of zinc daily along with a multi-vitamin. some days, i get nauseous when i take them. what should i eat or drink with them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nausea -common : Nausea is a common side effect seen with any of zinc salts. 50 mg zinc daily plus a multivitamin (also contains zinc) increases the risk of nausea. Zinc is better absorped on an empty stomach(max daily 40-50 mg elemental zinc).Taking with food/plenty water may reduce nausea. If nausea persist discontinue zinc supplement if not prescribe by your doctor/otherwise talk with doctor.
