How much zinc is too much?!
Question: How much zinc is too much.?
I take 65 mg a day.Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Zinc tablets usually contain 25 mg of zinc and 1 or 2 tablets per day is the usually recommended amount.
The danger level is supposed to be 80 mg per day so 65 mg per day is probably OK but it might be better to drop it down to 50 mg per day just to be on the safe side.Health Question & Answer

That sounds a bit too much. I have capsules of 50 mg per pill and they're 333% daily value. So you'd be getting over that number plus all the food you eat that contains zinc (and there's a lot of foods that have it.) I got side effects from the first day of taking a 50 mg pill. High zinc inake is linked to stomach cancer also... so unless you have the doctor's ok, cut down the dosage. Health Question & Answer
I think 50mg of zinc is enough.
