If i'm taking 50mg of zinc gluconate which is equal to 7mg of elemental zinc, is that okay? is recommended dietary intake in elemental zinc?

For what indication: I am not sure what are you taking zinc for but you have to bear in mind that zinc can potentially bind copper in the stomach and decrease copper absorption which results in anemia.
