1-2mg/Kg: 1-2mg/kg per day are used to treat zinc deficiency. The best way to prevent zinc deficiency is eating a healthy diet. Meat, chicken, nuts and lentils are rich in zinc. Most breakfast cereals are also fortified with zinc. For treating a cold follow the directions on the zinc lozenge package.
