How much Zinc?

Question:

I’ve heard that taking Zinc suppliments can help with spots. I currently take about 40-50mg per day, staggered throughout the day. Is this good enough? Does anyone know the side effects of too much Zinc? Are there different types of Zinc and if so, what is the best? Thanks for any input. Lee

A side effect of too much Zinc is extreme nausea but this can be eliminated by taking it on a full stomach.  50mg is a good dose, I wouldn’t go any higher than that.  I take Zinc and find that it helps with the swelling of acne.                                                                                                                         Jaye
