I took 30mg zinc/day for years. It completely stopped migraines.
I didn't know to also take copper (ratio about 7 zinc to 1 copper), which  
may have caused apparently permanent crippling illness.
IIRC the standard recommended dose was 15mg per day.
There seems to be enough bio-available zinc in raw meat.

Since starting paleodiet I no longer get migraines, but still get  
occasional white spot on fingernails. Probably because I cheat.
