What to know
Adults need 8 mg of zinc a day for women and 14 mg for men. The adult upper level in the Australian and New Zealand Nutrient Reference Values is 40 mg a day from all sources. Check the amount per capsule or lozenge on the label. High strength zinc products can be at or above that level in a single serve, and lozenges are meant for short term use only. Long term high dose zinc can cause copper deficiency.
Who should check first
- Taking a multivitamin or ZMA: add up your zinc.
- Taking antibiotics or penicillamine: zinc can block their absorption. Take them at least two hours apart.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding: check with your doctor first.
