Its my understanding that any vitamin that is "Fat Soluble" as Vitamin D is, will have a toxicity level. If you're ever looking up Vitamins, figuring you should supplement or not, look at whether its Fat Soluble, then start looking at what the safe dose is.
Zinc is a very common one for people to overdose on because its super common in Cold Lozenges. For an Adult male, one resource I just googled says daily recommended dose is 15mg, or a safe upper dose of 25mg, but some lozenges will have 15mg in a single lozenge!
- TheRealSteel 6y agoI believe zinc overdose (possibly via copper deficiency) happened to me and caused my fatigue problem -- suddenly, about 5 hours after waking up, I would go from awake to overwhelmingly tired in about 10 or 15 minutes, and physically not be able to keep my eyes open. After an hour in bed I would drag myself back out but feel sluggish and useless the rest of the day. I stopped taking zinc and it got better pretty quickly. I can't prove it but I believe that's what it was.
