>Zinc is known to be good for stimulating/enhancing the immune system up to about 50 mg./day. When you start taking more than that, you're hindering rather than helping your immune system. I would have to do some research as to why that is to be able to see if that might translate into any neurotoxicity issues. Hopefully, Larry, Ray or Jan could speak more to this and then I wouldn't have to do the work. :-)
