How safe is it to take a zinc supplement? anything i should take into consideration?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fairly safe: Zinc is fairly safe, but rarely needed as almost no one without severe kidney disease, surgery, cancer, malnutrition, is ever zinc deficient. Recommended intake varies as age increases, up to a maximum of 15-20 mg for adults.
