Lots to choose our there, research the various zinc forms (picolinate, citrate, gluconate, etc…)… what’s important is of you can absorb the supplement and also of your stomach can handle it.
Another option to try … oysters. Go to your store and look for oysters fresh shelled in a bottle (they usually get them daily) or fresh oysters. This is a more bioavailability form of zinc you can get (from food). Make sure you add fresh lemon to taste but also to ‘cook’ the oysters … ceviche style.
The citric acid in lemons does not bind to zinc found in oysters (natural foods) — these are naturally bound to amino acids, not chelated via some synthetic process. Naturals foods are not the same as synthetic chems forms.
So don’t worry, the lemon will not cause a chem reaction.
When it comes to legumes, you can get rid of phytic acid by soaking overnight, basically sprouting.
You can get it by itself. MuscleandStrength has some pretty decent deals. I would just be careful of anything that says made in China on it. Vitamin Shoppe or if you have a local health and vitamin or supplement store it might be a good place to start.
You can also get NAC which is a supplement they're trying to stop from being sold over the counter that some people swear is very effective with the flu. There are some really good amino acid supplements, many tied in with caffeine which can be good tasting and a good alternative to coffee or energy drinks.
Is Zinc available by itself or only in a multi-vit? (Don't much about vitamins or even being healthy for that matter) thnx.
Go to Swanson vitamins online for a large selection.
Thanks!

Agreed on the oysters, but skip the lemon, just simmer them in broth or whatever. Citric acid binds with the zinc,

one of the problems with zinc lozenges is that some contain substances that bind with zinc – like citric acid.
