Zinc.

Is 60mg of zinc too much daily?

60mg is really high. I've read that a recommended dosage is 30mg. Take too much zinc and you can have all sorts of gastrointestinal problems, sometimes even kidney failure. Go easy on that stuff.

I take a GNC brand multi that has 15mg of zinc, which already accounts for 100% daily value. Some brands will toss in 25mg which I think is still high.

The difficult thing is it can vary by person, and there is a small window between 'optimal' and 'uh oh too much'

the main problem with too much is immune system doesn't function as well when you take too much

Best to errr on the side of caution then, also depends on how much you also get from your diet.
