how much elemental zinc is too much a day?

[Deleted member 24712]

whenever i search the internet i see answers like 40+ is unhealthy but i seriously doubt that so does anyone here take zinc?
the highest ive ever taken was 250mg in a single day but i didnt really feel sick so im wondering if any health problems would arise?

i know of the excess zinc causing copper deficiency but ive sorted that out so im fine on that side but anyone know of any other side effects and a recommended dose?

Theres no point to take more than 40 mg.
