One of the side effects of zinc overdose is loss of sense of smell, sometimes permanently. Please research all aspects before use.

you get prepackaged 25mg tablets of zinc for bodybuilding. most people will get those and the recommended dosage is one every night.

i don't think anyone except hypochondriacs are in danger of zinc overdose

I was told by a lady behind me in line in the store yesterday (who had taken 10 packs) that she intends to take 1 per day but if she feels bad she’ll take 4 per day until she overcomes the covid.

There is enough stupidity around in normal times, and now is worse.
