My kids love the Rite-Aid chewable Zinc and just found out it is actually

made by GNC for private label by Rite-Aid.

We give our son zinc once a day in the morning at this time. He's kind of off

schedule since his choking on a pill incident.

Cod liver oil is given with his enzymes with meals.

Can you give Zinc in juice? They say to give it before bed - any reason why to

do it at that time?

If I remember right, something about it not competing with the other

minerals that are given or eaten throughout the day for absorption.

We give ours in juice which is fine. Some people give zinc four

times a day. As long as you can get it in them...mainly.

You can give zinc in juice. Our son will only swallow capsules. He won't take

it in liquid. I should have been more persistant when he refused capsules too

after the choking incident, but since money was tight, I used it as an

opprotunity to cut out half of his supplements. Now, we've added five things

back and he's doing a little better. The humidifier is working wonders for his

dry throat.

I've been giving zinc in the mornings (my mornings/his evenings) his sleep awake

cycles are different from mine. I used to give zinc every four hours during his

wake cycle which means I have to wake up and dose him twice every single night.

There is a tub of supplements and he would take them every four hours during

awake times. I make up the supplements a week ahead of time in a pill minder.

For a long time he was able to dose himself at night, and now he has lost that.

It's back to standing over him and handing them to him and watching him until

he's taken them.

Our daughter takes all of her supplements in liquids which pretty much takes all

day but we're getting faster at it. She doesn't take zinc because she has an

autoimmune disorder, and zinc revs up the immune system.

I don't know about the juice. Our son just takes the pills.

You take it at bedtime for better absorption.

Hi ,

I didn't know there were different types. I bought it from Kirkman's and

it says Zinc on the from of the bottle. It has a rasberry flavor with it.

Is there somewhere else on the bottle I should look to let you know?

I used zinc picolinate. Brand was Henry's [store brand] because it

contained very few additives and fillers. My son did very well with

Henry's brand for most supplements.

Thanks , you are a real encyclopedia Briticanna of knowledge. I will put

that on my list to ask the doctor to run a test on. I was also going to ask

about hormones. Does anyone else have any suggestions I should check on.

Thyroids are also on my list.

Blessings,

Lottie
