50 mg / day i'd say. I used it and find it to be highly effective around 15 mg / day, which i think is the RDA. Most people don't get 15 mg / day anyway, so it's a good amount. Interestingly, I *seem* to feel depressed when i take 50mg / day... don't know if it's coincidence or if it's real. Theoretically, it's an NMDA antagonist, and it really should have antidepressant effects, but when I get to higher doses, it doesn't work. Wonder why. Maybe it's the form of zinc... or maybe it's inhibiting iron absorption too much. No idea!
