I'm pretty sure you can do a simple search on the web and find some pretty damnig information about taking too much Zinc. It can become a neurtoxin in some cases if it's not balanced correctly. I wouldn't recommend taking more than 40MG a day but hey

Yeah I'm gonna agree with that. I started taking Zinc back in Nov/Dec because of this thread. I was taking three of those a day, so 90mg a day. For about a month. then off and on maybe 60mg - 90mg. My doctor tried to prescribe me some for a cold coming on and I said, oh, I take like 100mg a day already, and he looked at me and said, check Google, stop taking so much. So I did, and kinda freaked out a bit and stopped taking them for about a week. So today I take one, just 30mg, and feel my mouth tastes like metal which did not happen so much before. And it's lasted the entire day, more than 12 hours already... I know that if you take too much that is one of the symptoms, usually does not happen with oral capsules, but can. So now I am wondering if I over did for the last month and it has accumulated in my system to the point that I had better not take anymore.

So I'd advise you all do as wish, but be aware of the consequences. Google it like I did. Some of them aren't serious complications, but some of them are, and luckily I was not taking 150-250mg a day... But some damage may already have been done, I am hoping nothing long term for me.
