A mulivitamin can hospitalize you if you take enough. Look up the recommended MGs.. 45 isn't much at all
MINIMUM (adequate) intake is 11 mgs.

50 mg is considered the max daily dosage.

50 mg is considered the max daily dosage.

If you hit past that dosage once or twice it shouldn't do anything physically. On a regular basis however, you could be looking at problems

Zinc ? QuickFacts

Zinc ? Health Professional Fact Sheet

Zinc: MedlinePlus Supplements

There is no biological way for the body to store zinc, but too much of it for long durations may disrupt iron and copper balance as well, which would lead to anemia, so make sure you don't exceed the daily recommended dose, also note that it is better absorbed if taken after protein away form iron and vitamin c and in low doses.

Exactly. Also too much Zinc lowers your DHT levels. Lowering DHT too much is not a good thing...
You will end up having your nerves f***** up.

Heh. Too much Zinc is definitely not good. You will be left with low DHT and hypoactive nerves.
