Take zinc with a meal containing protein for better absorption and to prevent stomach upset. Avoid taking with high-fiber meals, coffee, or dairy which can reduce absorption.
Zinc supports immune function, wound healing, protein synthesis, DNA synthesis, cell division, and proper sense of taste and smell. It's also essential for testosterone production and skin health.
Do not exceed 40 mg of zinc daily from all sources for extended periods unless directed by a healthcare provider. Excessive zinc can cause copper deficiency, nausea, and immune suppression. Always consult a doctor before starting supplements.
