sick from zma

[Akhkharu19]

i went to walmart this morning and got zinc, magnesium, and b6. I took them before bed tonight without food and got so sick i almost puked. I had to get up and after a couple bites of food I felt better. Any thoughts on why this happened?

Contents:

magnesium: 400 mg

zinc: 65 mg (50 + 15 in magnesium pill)

b6: 100 mg

Thanks

"People who take zinc on an empty stomach may become nauseated or suffer other symptoms of an upset stomach, such as heartburn."

Thanks

Is the amount of zinc and b6 i am taking ok, or should I cut the pills in half?

You should be okay as long as you're keeping it at that one pill.

There're alot of medications that need to be taken with food. A quick check on the directions or question to a pharmacist can help avoid these nasty moments.

Feel better!
