Word of caution about Zinc. I took 50mg/day from 2020-until about 4 months ago. My naturopath was looking at different levels to figure out some issues I was having. Turns out I had zero copper which is very bad for you (liver health especially). She asked about all I was taking and was suspicious I was taking too much zinc which will deplete copper uptake from food. I stopped the zinc and added 2mg of copper daily and reversed the problem in about 3 months. Stick to a lower dose daily or only take when you feel an illness coming on.

No, I'm aware that one can have too-high elevated zinc levels, same with vitamin D, so I moderate both.
