Dose and safetyThe dose that worked and the upper limit

The studies of zinc carnosine taken by mouth that showed an improvement gave 150 mg a day.

The upper limit for adults is 40 mg of zinc a day, counted as the zinc itself, not the weight of the compound; above it, members see a note and are told they can take less.
