I have been taking 20 mg of zinc a day for about 20 years, no side effects, my blood pathology always comes back normal in everything.

I take a multi vitamin with copper in the morning and a zinc supplement at night. The reason being I don't want the copper and zinc fighting each other to be absorbed. Anyone with thoughts on that would be appreciated.

My friend had a coronavirus last year and he refused to be admitted in the hosp so he took Zinc 75 mg a day, after 3 days he recovered well.

What isn't mentioned here are the Amazon results give you 50mg of zinc gluconate. This is 14% elemental zinc by weight. So 50mg of the zinc that you're referring to is a 7mg dose of elemental zinc. This is the dosage you suggest, right?

I agree with this interesting presentation. Over dosing might be a cause of Alzeimer’s plague formation also…

I have no idea why but zinc always makes me feel off.
I happened to mention this once to my mother and oddly enough she said she experienced the same with a zinc supplement.

The prostate also uses high amounts of zinc and prostate enlargement in men is extremely common in men over 50. The most common symptom of prostate enlargement in men over 50 is difficulty urinating.... in extreme cases the urinary tract may be obstructed completely and a catheter must be inserted into the penis for the urine to flow through...
