That's a great question! Ingesting too much zinc (50-450 milligrams) is often associated with an upset stomach, loss of appetite, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Although mouth sores and tongue irritation could possibly be linked to your zinc consumption, they are not common symptoms of excessive intake. To determine the true cause of your symptoms, I recommend discussing them with your health care professional.
