You can get Zinc in your body by eating foods that contain Zinc or by taking Zinc Supplements.

Whole grains and milk products are good sources of zinc.

Many ready-to-eat breakfast cereals are fortified with zinc.

Oysters, red meat, and poultry are excellent sources of zinc.

Baked beans, chickpeas, and nuts (such as cashews and almonds) also contain zinc.

You could take Zinc Everyday as long as your health is okay and your doctor says it's okay.

If you do take zinc supplements everyday make sure you don't take too much Zinc and overdose on the zinc.

Zinc can help you remain healthy when taken in moderation but when you take too much zinc it can cause health issues.

When you take Zinc supplements in higher dosages of 40 mg per day everyday then it can lead to health issues such as causing nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, metallic taste, kidney and stomach damage.

So while taking Zinc supplements everyday is usually okay it's still best to only take zinc supplements when needed or every other day.

Speak with your doctor to ensure it's safe for you to take zinc everyday as it can depend on the person but for most people taking zinc supplements everyday is okay.

Zinc, a nutrient found throughout your body, helps your immune system and metabolism function.

Zinc is also important to wound healing and your sense of taste and smell.

With a varied diet, your body usually gets enough zinc.

Food sources of zinc include chicken, red meat and fortified breakfast cereals.
