How do I stop feeling sick after taking zinc? 

4 answers found

Zinc absorption was reduced after cimetidine administration (p less than 0.005), suggesting that gastric pH influences zinc absorption.


Although our data do not prove conclusively, they do suggest that impaired zinc status at presentation may contribute to treatment morbidity, and that for an optimal mean disease-free interval, a sufficient zinc and nutritional status is required.


Zinc absorption can be predicted from dietary zinc and phytate after allowing for dietary equilibration.


These results cast doubts on the conclusions of earlier studies that indicated an improvement in taste after zinc supplementation.
