A member asked:
Can 50mg of zinc be taken on a longterm basis in conjunction with a multivitamin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Depends on the formulation. 50 mg of zinc gluconate provides 7 mg of elemental zinc. Daily total intake of >40 mg is associated with adverse effects. Zinc is a trace element. There is conflicting evidence that it may shorten the duration of a cold when taken at the onset of a cold. You should confine supplementation to those times.
