[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 176119, member: 3"] To get 50 mg per day of zinc from food is almost impossible: [ATTACH type="full"]9579[/ATTACH] The RDA for adults is 11 mg per day. Doses over 150 mg/day have been reported to lower iron and copper. Here is very good information from the NIH: [URL unfurl="true"]https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Zinc-HealthProfessional/#en2[/URL] On the other hand, it is not too difficult to eat foods that can bring our copper intake to 2-3 mg per day (2000 mcg to 3000 mcg) [URL unfurl="true"]https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Copper-HealthProfessional/[/URL] Iron is even easier. I do not take zinc long term. I have seen some data on [URL='https://academic.oup.com/aje/article-abstract/138/11/937/122649']higher mortality in HIV in the past with high intake of zinc[/URL]. I have also seen some data on [URL='https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3207614']its inhibitory effect on 5 alpha reductase enzyme responsible for DHT formation. [/URL] Zinc is important for hormone production. But, like everything else, it seems to behave in an U-shape manner when it comes to dosage vs benefits.
