Dietary supplements: The amount of zinc need for a healthy individual is very low, in fact in North America, overt zinc deficiency is uncommon, so Dietary supplements should only be taken when needed not as a daily routine. Below the link of the National Institute of heath where you can find your Recommended Dietary Allowance and food sources of zinc. https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Zinc-HealthProfessional
