I think there is different kinds of zinc isn’t there? Maybe why some supplements have higher mg’s of the zinc.

50 is a lot to be taken daily. 25-30 is ok!
Also try not having any calcium products 30 minutes before or after intake as it affects zinc absorption.

I have a supp that contains zinc/calcium and magesium. So I think you are misinformed.

I, can, I can, I can not, can not compute..

High dietary calcium intakes reduce zinc absorption and balance in humans

The product should not be taken with calcium (cheese,milk,etc.), the reason being that calcium blocks the absorption of zinc.

Sadly I am no nutritionist and tend to believe what I read. :(

I have decided whatever I do I will move forward in life

It needs to be taken in consideration the amount of elemental zinc in these preparations. As an eg, 10 mg of zinc gluconate has only 1.4 mg of elemental zinc
