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 supporting the common cold's duration. However, a 50 mg dose exceeds the recommended daily allowance for adults. This high concentration may lead to safety concerns regarding long-term copper deficiency.
