Zinc supplementation

I notice a huge difference sexually when I start taking a 50mg of zinc supplement. Even from the first dose.

But I'm left wondering if there is any negative effects while on TRT. Like does it raise DHT? or is it a common suggested supplement to take? Any thoughts, info? Thanks
 
High zinc supplementation, and 50mg is pretty high, can cause copper deficiency. I take 2mg of copper(citrate) with the 20mg of zinc I take everyday.
 
Yeah i usually split the tablet in half and only take 25mg per day. But usually I start the first week at 50mg per day. Thanks for your input
 
50 mg of Zinc is fine as long as you are taking a multi with copper with it.

For men over 40 years of age 50 mg of zinc is a very nice supplement.

I've been taking it for years.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
