Food sources of zinc include:

I was supplementing too heavily with zinc and wound up anemic. I studied up on it and learned about the appropriate dosage and how zinc can deplete your body of copper triggering anemia. I found a supplement (Zinc Balance by Jarrow) that pairs zinc with the appropriate amount of copper. I take it daily at the appropriate dosage.
