Zinc supplementation

[Maximus220rr]

Was wondering what was a good dose of zinc to do a day? I take a multi with 22mg and a another zinc supplement with pumpkin seed for prostate support with 30mg. Was wondering if 55mg of zinc a day was overkill?

55mg/day is ok just make sure you are getting enough copper as zinc can deplete it.

Hey Madman

Would you like to share more on the zinc to copper ratio?

I use Jarrow zinc balance, it's 15 to 1

Zinc Balance is a synergistic combination of Zinc Monomethionate and Copper Gluconate in a 15:1 ratio, because supplementing with zinc without including copper may cause a copper deficiency. * The amino acid Methionine facilitates absorption and transport of zinc in the human body.
