Safe Amounts of Zinc?


Was curious to know if anyone outthere knows the maximum amount of zinc a male can consume safely in one day? I believe it is 30mg, but I am not for sure. I am talking about zinc as in a dietary supplement for athletes just to be clear

It depends on age. For a teen (14-18), the max is 34 mg, but for adults 19 and over, you can take as much as 40 mg.

Check out this website for some good info on zinc:
