Regarding the zinc, staying within the RDA is probably safe.   People who eat a 
lot of oysters and sea food would already be getting quite a bit of zinc.  

Safe but unless there's a deficiency, probaby useless.  If it works, it's by 
sucking on zinc lozenges, not taking it orally.  I don't remember the 
theoretical mechanism behind it.
