What the Evidence Says

✨ AI-generated · Qwen 3.6 · grounded in 1 source · methodology

Zinc is supported by strong evidence for supporting immune function and cellular metabolism. However, the 50 mg dosage exceeds the recommended daily upper limit for adults, which may lead to toxicity or copper deficiency. These safety concerns are reflected in the product's lower safety score.
