Zinc absorption is easily affected by what you eat and drink.🥗☕️
Phytates are natural compounds found in grains and legumes can bind to zinc and reduce how much your body absorbs.
Coffee and tea can also interfere due to compounds called polyphenols.
If zinc is a priority for you, timing matters. ⏱️
For better absorption:
•Take zinc on an empty stomach, or with a small low-phytate meal
•Avoid coffee or tea for at least 1 hour before or after taking it
Small changes can make a big difference in how well your supplements work. 🌿
