How do you know you are low in Zinc? If you are eating a usual mixed diet, it is highly unlikely that you have zinc deficiency and do not need to take the supplement. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
