Too much zinc is bad.
Some vitamins you can take a shit ton of, like vitamin C.
Some you have to be careful about, zinc is one of them.
Vit D is another one that you can’t just take a shit ton of for long periods of time.
But the safe limits for zinc are much lower than that of vitamins like c and d.
If you overdose on zinc, one thing that can happen is that you lose your sense of taste and smell permanently.
Taking a zinc supplement isn’t a bad thing, just stay within safe limits.
What are the safe limits? I've been taking a zinc supplement as a prophylactic against colds/flu and to help increase T levels.
Heck I take vitamin D too, but only twice a week as I know it's one of the fat soluble one. I had chronic fatigue and this cleared it right up.
I don’t remember honestly. Just look it up or google zinc toxicity. Most store bought supplements should likely be in the safe limits I think.
