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. The 30 mg products are under it. The 50 mg products are above it in a single tablet, so they suit short term use on a health professional's advice, not long term daily use. High zinc intake over time lowers copper, which is why copper is sold alongside. Do not take copper unless you have a reason to.
Who should check first
- Taking a multivitamin or more than one of these: add up your zinc.
- Taking antibiotics or penicillamine: take zinc at least two hours apart.
- Wilson's disease or liver conditions: do not take copper.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding: check with your doctor first.
