Guest guest Report post Posted January 31, 2007 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted February 1, 2007 Can you give Zinc in juice? They say to give it before bed - any reason why to do it at that time?

Guest guest Report post Posted February 1, 2007 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. > > Can you give Zinc in juice?

Guest guest Report post Posted February 1, 2007 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted February 1, 2007 I don't know about the juice. Our son just takes the pills. You take it at bedtime for better absorption.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 26, 2007 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? Gail Original Message: ----------------- From: Shepard Salzer _Shepard@...

What brands > are people using? My dd can swallow pills. 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. Dana Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted January 27, 2009 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.
