Zinc- For real or a flop?

[Juice2003]

Does anyone know how zinc compares to clomid, taking 150 mg/day?

Some say zinc is a good anti-estrogene.

 

[natty]

zinc is toxic in high doses....

 

[Juice2003]

how many mg/day is toxic?

 

[The !]

I've heard 60 mg/day is the most you'll want to take.

Zinc isn't an anti-estrogen.

It's good post-cycle because it helps the body produce testosterone naturally. That's why you see people use ZMA during and post-cycle.

Yes, zinc is not an anti-e at all. Nothing to do with clomid, nolva and company.
But there are studies showing an enhanced endo testosterone production assuming ZMA (zinc, magnesium, group B vitamins).
In my experience ZMA is a good supplement, but don't think it could be your post cycle therapy (pct), bro.

Stick with Clomid for post-cycle.....tried and proven to work.

ZMA is the only way to take zinc and it be effective. Even then it is not to be thought of as a HPTA recovery agent.

Zinc deficiency can lower tetosterone & GH/IGF-1 so you should make sure that your daily intake is sufficient...
If you're getting enough Zn from your diet, supplementation with Zn will not increase your test.
And 150 mg is too much and can increase the risk of prostate cancer.
You don't need > 30 mg ED.
