Night Elf Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I'm going to start my son on zinc to see if it will help clear his acne. Can he take it without food? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandelion Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 DS and I both take ours at night before bed without food. Seems to be fine. How your DS tolerates it will depend on the type of zinc and his individual sensitivity to it. Try it without food and see how he does with it.

wapiti Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Zinc can increase appetite for some people (my understanding is that it helps insulin sensitivity, which may be related to why it helps with acne). If bedtime doesn't work, try having him take it with dinner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
