Hi
If you are thinking that zinc levels in your body will come to your normal requirement of popping a pill
I’m sorry to break the bubble but it won’t really work
The science behind any supplementation is that OCP’s gets just 20-30% absorbed instead you could have gone for Intravenous injections it would have bought your zinc levels to normal in 2 months course thereafter you should have taken natural sources to prevent further loss
Next Steps
Please consult me thru Practo
Health Tips
Also intervene or get more blood works to check if there are other deficiencies too as one mineral deficiency leads to another deficiency hence your functionality of overall absorption of nutrients are affected

Zinc is absorbed completely if your gut health is upto the mark. So check if your zinc supplement is in correct form and composition
