    I think it depends on the form of supplement you're taking. I take 60mg of Zinc gluconate every day, with the understanding that very little elemental zinc is actually absorbed. I've been considering just adding some raw pumpkin seeds to my diet for zinc.

    Are you taking it as part of a multivitamin? The typical dosage in a multi is 15-30 mg on average.

    Be careful of the forms. Citrate & Oxide are poor forms.

    Zinc & Copper have a relationship. Try to get as close as a 10:1 ratio as possible.
