☠️ 毒性と過剰摂取のリスク
Zinc toxicity causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and copper depletion leading to anemia. The upper tolerable limit is 4mg (infants), 5mg (ages 1-3), 12mg (ages 4-8), and 23mg (ages 9-13). Chronic excess depletes copper stores. Zinc nasal sprays have caused permanent loss of smell (anosmia). Give with food to reduce nausea.
