Vitamin C with Zinc

When I was replenishing my supplement supply, Walgreen's was out of the vitamin C I normally buy. So I figured the C w/ Zinc would be fine. Took the first dose and within minutes it came back up ... THEN I read the instructions which suggested taken with meals. :o I have since taken it with snacks and with full meals but it still leaves me nauseous. Is this normal or is my body telling me it doesn't need zinc?

    Are you taking high dose or just the recommended dose? I take 6000mg of C a day. I don't know if it contained zinc that I would be able to take my normal high dose.
    Not sure if zinc can be taken in high doses I haven't researched that one yet.
    If you're not on high dose, I think it seems like your stomach is just very sensitive to it. Since the packaging has that warning, it must not be uncommon.

    @Sunny_Bunny_ I've been taking 2 tablets (no recommendations on bottle) for a total of 120mg of C and 30mg of zinc. Doesn't seem excessive to me.
