30mg of zinc is a safe dose. Though ideally it is paired with 1mg of copper if taken long term. Your neutrophil count likely has nothing to do with that particular zinc dose. Otherwise I would avoid jumping to any conclusions and follow up with the doctor who ordered your bloodwork in the first place for accurate interpretation.
