Body Builder Zinc 50mg, 50 Tablets

Body Builder Zinc provides 50mg per tablet, which is a high-strength serving rather than an everyday one. Most daily multivitamins contain somewhere between 5 and 15mg, and general guidance for adults sets the long-term upper limit well below 50mg.

That matters because taking high-dose zinc over a long period interferes with how the body absorbs copper, and a copper shortfall causes problems of its own. A strength like this is worth discussing with your doctor or our pharmacist rather than taking indefinitely on your own judgement.
