Bros I hate zinc supplements so ****ing much RATFISH someone HELP ME

I went full on production mode today 6 miles cardio + lifting and a sweet ****ing big lunch steak eggs broccoli rice mashed potatoes the whole enchalada. I casually took a 20mg zinc pill that I cut into 2/5 from the standard 50mg. big mistake. hours later im at my sink dry heaving after throwing up all my chit that I just ate recently I'm really disgusted by zinc brah. I don't know whats wrong, I used to take it an even higher amount before jsut fine. It's really bad. An hour later, I throw up again at my desk from just drinking fuking water. What the phuck?

I fell off the zinc supplement grind but Ratfish's recent thread "Coffee is an insidious drug srs" reawakened me after he reminded me that zinc is good for your skin and body.

I dont know brahs, any advice? I tried balancing it out by making sure I eat copper too to counteract the zinc. Still didn't matter. ALL my food is gone form my sttomach its like i didnt even eat. shaking like a diabetic rn. I would like to keep taking zinc to achieve greater skin gains and maintain it without effort/reliance on other pharmaceutical chit for antiaging/skin etc.

yeah, get it from beef, not supps srs

just eat a lb a day and you should have plenty

the supps fukk u up and cause copper deficiency due to upregulation of intestinal metallothionein expression srs (that's obv not why you puked, but it happens over time)

the irony is that the steak lunch was probably plenty of zinc fuark

I think there are time released zinc pills you can get that help with this. Also, I'd take it before you sleep. You'll most likely sleep through any nausea you might get.

There are glowies on the misc now. Don't fall for the bait.

I take a 50mg pill per day without issue. Pretty sure you have food poisoning.

Maybe try the gummy version that's mixed with vitamin c? Less potent but will get you taking zinc

You have to take it on a full stomach.

Trust me you'll be okay. Everyone has been there before.

I might have some nutrient malabsorption thing, tho. Maybe too fast of metabolism. I have to go ham on protein (well over 200g a day) to get gains, too.

Take it with food

Something else mightve caused the nausea
Or try a different brand of zinc
