I’ve been prescribed some supplements, including zinc. I do my daily pills in individual mini-fake tupperware from the dollar store, because the doors on those seven-day things often aren’t latched right, or just fall open, depositing another day’s pills on the floor.
Anyway, I keep my daily pill doodads atop the fridge (because that way I’ll remember, I open the fridge about ninety times a day), iow in the kitchen.
Yes, even the kitchen zinc.

Yes, be careful with the kitchen zinc. My late father had successful treatment by Dr. Atkin’s clinic for cancer. I started him on supplements over 50 years ago for his severe spring allergy symptoms. They worked, as did the Atkins help. Every day he would put down a towel and lay out his vitamins for that morning, and do the same that evening. I tried to convince him to lay out a bigger towel and make 7 pill piles for a week and put them in little plastic baggies. I even gave him 7 little baggies in a larger one labeled Morning, and the same with one labeled Evening. He never did that and it may have killed him. He also never tried to learn to master his bad temper in a health way. One Friday he was standing in a long grocery line with food to take with him when he drove 90 miles to stay in his little trailer and try to collect rent from deadbeats. His anger must have been bad, because he had a stroke. It was 4 days before I could travel to see him and bring him his supplements including Vitamin C to promote his
healing. If he had made prepared vitamin baggies his neighbor could have brought them to him. He died a few days after my arrival, age 90. I suspect from a bowel tear as he had almost died of typhoid as an infant. He was very careful to take preparations to never be constipated, he probably did not get that help in the hospital. Without the healing power of his supplements, his gut walls would have weakened, and the hospital diet probably was much inferior to what he prepared at home with lots of raw and cooked veggies and proteins.
