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 typical adult upper limit, which may lead to safety concerns regarding long-term copper depletion. Evidence for general health benefits is well-established, but high doses require caution.
