Sherry,

I'm afraid I cannot offer much more. Murray doesn't do the research

himself. The book I was quoting is called " Encyclopedia of

Nutritional Supplement " . Andy recommended it some time ago and many

of us have found it useful. Murray seems pretty careful in relying

on research.

If your child doesn't seem to be having zinc level problems, then

there is probably no benefit to supping zinc away. However, zinc is

crucial to good health and many kids, like mine, seem to be hovering

right on the edge of " enough " zinc. So, given that some studies do

seem to indicate giving with calcium might impede absorption (there

may be others beyond what I posted--I did not look more after finding

that one), I play it safe®. Also, I give zinc away from food

because I use enzymes for my son that contain DPP-IV. There is

evidence that DPP-IV is inactivated by zinc.

I hope that might help.

Zinc inhibits DPP4, so give it away from meals.
