Will it be ok to start taking zinc?

[hiram1st]

Thinking about starting to take a zinc supplement.

What's a good starting dose?

If I already have low E2 by most standards will it crash my E2?

Thanks

Crash? No. But it could help lower it further. Why do you want to supplement zinc? Are you deficient?

Was reading that it promotes good thyroid function and was thinking about the stack that was posted last week on b5 and zinc for acne.

Since starting TRT i seem to be getting flare ups on my chin and in the crease of the nose like 3 days after injection.

I just scanned all my blood work you have to request that specificlly?

I dont see zinc or vit d on any of my labs

I take low dose zinc 22 mg. I wouldn't over do it. Take breaks off it too. I haven't noticed any break outs on my back etc since using it...could be coincidence too as E2 may not be that elevated.

We have zinc in our testosterone now.

Compounded Test?

yes

Probably not. It's not that potent. A deficiency will cause an increase in estrogen receptors in the body/liver and a decrease in androgen receptors.

Good idea!

yes

Does it work differently then say...
taking zinc on its own (injested in capsule form) ?
