Is there a specific combo/time of day that zinc is recommended be taken? The only thing I've read in regards to this is that zinc (and iron) shouldn't be taken in conjunction with calcium because the calcium will be prioritized. And I don't know how much merit that even has.

Soooo... thoughts on zinc timing?

I haven't found much on the timing of supplementing with zinc yet Neely. I did find something similar saying that iron (supps > 25mg, not food w/ ) taken at the same time as zinc may decrease the zinc absorbtion.

Although the product ZMA (zinc, magnesium, B6), is recommended to take a night. :shrug:
