The RDI for zinc is 11-15mg (for male adults). For example, 10 mg of zinc gluconate contains 1,43 elemental zinc. Therefore, one should ingest 77 mg of zinc gluconate daily in order to meet their daily requirements (provided that one does not obtain zinc from other food sources).
You should consult with your physician before taking any supplements that he or she has not specifically recommended.
When zinc is linked with picolinic acid (an enzyme-hormone), it becomes Zinc Picolinate. Zinc Picolinate greatly enhances the availability of Zinc and other minerals for body utilisation (copied from a product page).
This is a topic that I've found very interesting over the past few years. I used to be a very big skeptic over the use of supplements such as Echinacea, Vitamin C and Zinc. However, I recently discovered that I was completely wrong. Zinc is your best bet, but you have to be careful. Most Zinc lozenges don't do anything to help you. They may taste great, like candy even, but candy never helped us with our colds. Rather, be sure the Zinc you're ingesting in a lozenge comes in the form of Zinc Acetate, not Zinc Gluconate, as most commercial lozenges do. Lozenges that contain a few milligrams of Zinc, not "as Zinc Glucomate" will also do you well. I'm my research, the cheaper the Zinc lozenge, the more likely it is to contain Zinc Gluconate. Go for the mid-range prices and read the label. I've found what I use to be very effective and I get mine at Walgreens. It is their brand of Zinc Lozenges that I find work for me.

yes actually if you have to much zinc it can be bad for you
If you have a hard time finding foods you like that have Zinc in them, you can take either a multivitamin or Zinc supplement everyday.
Zinc gluconate
Zincum is the same as Zinc.... There is zinc sulfate and zinc gluconate. Zinc gluconate or Zincum gluconicum is the main ingredient in Zicam and is used to shorten the duration of the common cold. Not sure what 1x or 2x mean, but there are approximately 13.3 mg of zinc in each Zicam lozenge. And a normal 2000-calorie diet delivers approximately 10mg of zinc per day.

Zinc supplements are available as oral tablets in various forms, as well as lozenges. Zinc gluconate is the type most commonly used in lozenge form to kill upper respiratory viruses.
