Abstract
Should Zinc be taken with Food?
A recent clinical study reported greater effects of a zinc supplement on indices of essential fatty acid desaturation when the zinc was taken with food, in contrast to a greater plasma zinc response when taken in the fasted state. These results indicate that zinc with food may be more effectively directed toward metabolic functions. Thism ini review summarizes current knowledge of zinc absorption and metabolism, and the effects of food intake, that may explain these observations.
