My boyfriend is taking Zinc tablets and he thinks they do well for him and from what I've seen I agree but are there any side effects to taking Zinc tablets? Can too much Zinc be a problem?

Too much of anything can defiinitely be a problem. I seem to remember something about a specific amount of zinc being good for men on a daily basis and taking it when ill is good for the immune system but this is something that requires research and study to understand how zinc affects the body and under what conditions it could be harmful.

Hi!Excess of anything can be injuriuos to health.There is a proper ratio in which different minerals must bee found in our body.Excess of zinc might disrupt this ratio.Excess of zinc causes zinc toxicity.Its symptoms are dizziness, vomitting ,hair loss, loss of libido and gastrointestinal problems.The correct dosage of zinc to be had in a day is 11mg/day in males.

I know that excess of most things is bad but I was looking for what too much was - thanks for giving me the dosage. I will check his tablets.
