when is the best time to take a zinc supplement
Follow Following Unfollow Pending Disabled. A Stacy Wiegman, PharmD , Pharmacy, answered. Zinc is best absorbed naturally through your food and diet; however, sometimes it is necessary to take a supplement. A zinc supplement is usually taken one hour before or two to three hours after meals on an empty stomach. However, if zinc upsets your stomach you should take it with a full glass of water or with food.
