Can You Take White Willow Bark and Zinc Together?

May affect absorption

The short answer

White Willow Bark's salicin irritates the stomach, and Zinc on an empty stomach causes nausea. Combined intake may significantly increase GI discomfort.

How to arrange timing

Separate by at least 2 hours. Take both with food.
