What the Evidence Says

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

Zinc supports immune function and cellular metabolism, with strong evidence for its role in overall health. However, the 50 mg dosage exceeds the recommended daily allowance, which may lead to copper deficiency or other toxicity concerns. This high concentration contributes to a lower safety score.
