Is it safe to take a 30 mg Zinc supplement in addition to the 15 mg that is found in my Centrum vitamin?

I heard it is good to take for good sexual health, and I work out too, so for normal growth and development. Is 45 mg supplement of Zinc too much?
I”m 26, work out regularly, eat pretty good, 6′3”, 240 lbs.

Absolutely safe & desirable. for your height & weight, 45 mg per day is no big deal. I can do 100 mg daily with no problems. Besides - REMEMBER THIS: All minerals are very poorly absorbed. so if you consume 50 mg Zinc daily, your gut might absorb 20% or even less. So better to take more than less. And you lose zinc in every ejaculation, sweat, urine , etc.etc. Zinc is critical for men - for semen, for the prostate, for your manhood & good health in general. eyesight too, it activates hundreds of enzyme systems in your body. So take it and fear not. blackbird

45mg of Zinc a day is not a problem… The real trouble begins when your daily intake exceeds 100mg; then you can get what some medical profesionals refer to refer to zinc poisoning, where some side effects aren’t the most pleasant.
I myself take a 50mg tablet of zinc daily, plus the other zinc included in my diet, such as soy milk, oats, and the like.
So don’t fret there buddy! Butterman
