⚠ Key cautions
Cautions: labeled 2-capsule (60mg) dose exceeds the 40mg/day adult UL; chronic zinc excess can cause copper deficiency, anemia, and paradoxical immune suppression. In rare cases zinc can cause nausea, vomiting or metallic taste; high intakes can cause fever, diarrhea or fatigue. Prescription interactions: zinc can reduce absorption of certain antibiotics (tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones) — separate dosing by 2+ hours; may be contraindicated with certain antibiotics generally — consult physician. Priority: Moderate — effective and well-studied at 30mg/day, but the label's higher-dose option and chronic copper-depletion risk warrant review for extended use.
