A member asked:
Need help. is 25 mg zinc safe to consume daily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: Depends on your health status and reason, but recommended dose absorbed is about 8-10mg per day. Supplements are not fully absorbed, but for cold prevention, it works best when taken in proximity to the beginning of a cold's symptoms, and not with continuous administration.
