Alright, I get a little nervous taking pills on an empty stomach, so I've always taken my zinc (along with magnesium and B6) with my last meal instead of on an empty stomach just before bedtime (I don't want to wake up with an upset stomach, ya know). When I take it with my last meal, I don't get that "restful" sleep that others claim to get when supplementing with zinc and/or magnesium at night. But I do get an unintendend effect: I wake up in the middle of the night humping my pillow out of pure horniness.
Has anyone else had this effect when supplementing with zinc at night?
Recently, I've started taking the zinc, magnesium and B6 on an empty stomach. When I do this, I DO sleep deeper, AND I don't wake up in the middle of the night all horned up. Which makes me wonder if the zinc is better absorbed with a meal (which is why I wake up horny), and the magnesium is better absorbed on an empty stomach (which is why I sleep deeper).
Any thoughts?
Any other pillow humpers out there?

Zinc Supplementation at Night Makes Me Wake Up Humping My Pillow!
No supplement has the power that is greater than the power of eatin' clean and liftin' hard.

whats your last meal? calcium interferes with the zinc absorbtion, so if your eating cc or milk or anything with calcium, that could be why. IMO
"It ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done. Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that"

Last night was my first time going back on ZMA after about 1 year off, and come to think of it I had this same "problem" (or blessing?). It could also just be that I'm 20. I took it on an empty stomach 30 minutes prior to sleep and got the best snooze in recent memory.
Don't complain about the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do.

Enzyte
There are 3 ingredients to Enzyte
Niacin
Zinc
Copper
Here is how it works. Niacin is what helps the sex drive. Zinc helps with Niacin Metabolism, but causes a copper deficiency. Copper is added to replace the deficiency, but causes a zinc deficiency. So Copper and Zinc are overloaded in the pill, so that while they are causing deficiencies to each other, the zinc has time to metabolise the niacin.
That's why you are waking up horny. It is a good thing. I usually take my zinc in the morning with a meal, but I might switch to last meal so I can hump my pillow.At my house, we listen to both kinds of music: Led and Zeppelin!

They got your back after your ho rips your heart out for no good reason. And you were nothing but great to your ho, and you told her that she was the only ho for you. And that she was better than all the other hoes in the world. And then suddenly...she's not yo' ho no mo'.

Damn! I hate happy pills. They depress me! Why can't I have horny dreams like everyone else. Well I guess it's better than driving my car off a bridge. I'll keep taking the zinc maybe the chems just need to balance out.
