Overview
•Zinc at 22.5 mg daily is within safe limits (UL 40 mg) for adults but may cause mild GI upset in sensitive individuals; long-term use without copper monitoring risks deficiency.
•No significant drug interactions in this formulation, but high-dose zinc can interfere with antibiotic absorption (e.g., quinolones, tetracyclines) if taken concurrently.
•Safe for most healthy adults; contraindicated for those with Wilson's disease or severe kidney impairment due to copper imbalance risks.
•Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice, as excessive zinc may affect fetal development; consult healthcare provider.
