OTC bottle says 50 mg which the label says is 455% of the daily requirement. Not sick so far. And we’ve been in large crowds multiple times.

You may have to judge for yourself. Zinc makes me nauseous.

be sure to look at how muchelemental zinc has
some say 50 mg zinc but actually have about 10 mg
each different type zinc has different elemental...
https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Zinc-HealthProfessional/

example 220 mg zinc sulfate= 50 mg elemental zinc

you can also get an idea by coresponding minimum daily percentage

If you’re going to take much zinc for extended periods of time, get zinc that also includes copper. Taking a lot of zinc can deplete copper and that can cause problems.
