General: Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) quantities of zinc have been established for boys and men age 14 and older, 11 mg/day; women 19 and older, 8 mg/day; pregnant women 14 to 18, 13 mg/day; pregnant women 19 and older, 11 mg/day; lactating women 14 to 18, 14 mg/day; lactating women 19 and older, 12 mg/day. Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (UL) of zinc for people who are not receiving zinc under medical supervision: adults 19 years and older (including pregnancy and lactation), 40 mg/day. The typical North American male consumes about 13 mg/day of dietary zinc; women consume approximately 9 mg/day. Different salt forms provide different amounts of elemental zinc. Zinc sulfate contains 23% elemental zinc; 220 mg zinc sulfate contains 50 mg zinc. Zinc gluconate contains 14.3% elemental zinc; 10 mg zinc gluconate contains 1.43 mg zinc.
It looks like you are taking a dose suitable for maintaining your zinc levels at a healthy immune protection level. To the extent that HCQ works at all is because some CV victims have normal levels that work a little, but they are soon depleted which is why Zalenko recommends 220 mg. zinc for 5 days. Yesterday I did a lot of research and it seems there are no measured problems for most people using high doses of C, D, and zinc for up to 8 days. After that careful watching is recommended.
