Preservation AREDSs 2 Question

I am wondering if any of you taking AREDs (the preparation with 80 mg zinc) have noticed a drop in any of your blood cell counts? There are a few, very few, articles on the web that say it is happening for some patients. 80 milligrams of zinc is 10 the recommended dose for women. I am concerned because my platelets have been dropping since I started AREDS two years ago. My hematologist is monitoring this and I will ask him about it at my next appointment. Thanks in advance for sharing any insight you may have.
