I know it is hard on the stomach. Do you need extra for something?

If you're taking a good multi vitamin it will have a little zinc in it, otherwise you should not take over 15 mg. per day, and you would likely get that amount if you eat a balanced diet with little seafood now and then during the week.

Thanks. I didn't know that. I'm trying to find cal/mag pills and I saw some with zinc and so I was wondering if it's ok.
