I use zinc for my son's copper issues. I give it in the morning with

breakfast, about two days per week. It does make him hyper, I think

because of his copper issue, so I am right now experimenting with

reducing the dose, because the more I give him, the more hyper he

gets.

Anyway, if I gave it at night we would all have trouble sleeping.

What is the reason for giving it at night? And what is the reason for

giving it " by itself " ? Does that mean without other minerals, or

without food? And what do you mean by " it does tend to bond " ?

Thanks.
