I've read that zinc (even in a multivitamin) can cause side effects. if you've taken some for 3 days & had side effects, how long will it take for the side effects to go away once you stop taking the vitamins?

There are no side effects of zinc in the amounts contained in vitamins or cold remedies.

Many clinicians recommend taking no more than 30 mgs of zinc daily and to take copper at a dose of 2 mgs daily as zinc can interfere with copper absorption.
