[QUOTE="Gene Devine, post: 18948, member: 4"] I agree; while Zinc has shown to have a very very mild effect as an aromatase inhibitor I've never seen one paper or study that showed it worked in the clinical spectrum in men with elevated E2 levels. Remember, higher then 50 mg a day of Zinc requires supplementation with Copper as Zinc depletes Copper in our bodies and this can lead to serious illness and even death! This is one supplement that you can get very ill if you take too much of it on a daily basis and for a prolonged period of time. This from rxlist.com re higher doses of Zinc: [B]High doses above the recommended amounts might cause fever, coughing, stomach pain, fatigue, and many other problems.[/B] [B]Taking more than 100 mg of supplemental zinc daily or taking supplemental zinc for 10 or more years doubles the risk of developing prostate cancer. There is also concern that taking large amounts of a multivitamin plus a separate zinc supplement increases the chance of dying from prostate cancer.[/B] [B]Taking 450 mg or more of zinc daily can cause problems with blood iron. Single doses of 10-30 grams of zinc can be fatal...[/B] [/QUOTE]
