Should I take OptiZinc Supplement with or without food?

Zinc supplements are best absorbed when taken on an empty stomach. If possible, take OptiZinc Supplement at least one hour before, or two hours after, food. If you are taking OptiZinc Supplement with food, be aware that high fiber foods can interfere with zinc absorption.

How much zinc is in the Cooper Complete multivitamin I take?

All Cooper Complete multivitamin and mineral formulations contain 15 mg zinc.

Can too much zinc be harmful?

Yes. Taking too much zinc long term can cause serious health problems as copper levels are decreased. This can suppress the immune system and also cause heart problems and anemia. For this reason, we do not recommend taking more than one (1) zinc capsule per day. HDL cholesterol level may lessen if too much zinc is taken long term.

What zinc medication interactions should I be aware of?

Zinc supplements reduce the effectiveness and absorption of both zinc and antibiotics. To minimize the effect, take the antibiotic at least two hours before, or four-six hours after the zinc supplement.

Zinc supplements also lower absorption of the medication penicillamine (used to treat rheumatoid arthritis). To minimize the effect, this zinc supplement should be taken at least two hours before or after taking penicillamine.

Thiazide diuretics (such as hydrochlorothiazide) can increase the amount of zinc lost through urination.

Should I take this product if I am also taking Coumadin or Warfarin?

If you are taking Coumadin or Warfarin, we recommend consulting your doctor before adding any supplements to your diet.
