Who here dosing on Zinc supplements? I hear lots of great things about zinc, and have started recently. Yesterday I stupidly took it on an empty stomach and suffered 6 hours of severe stomach-ache, diarrea, and nausea. Anyone else doing zinc? I'm taking 2 50mg pills( one in the morning, one at night)

[Anonymous No.10274926]

Isn't this way too much? I think 20 mg is normal per day

[Anonymous No.10274937]

>>10274926
That's what I thought too, but I've read online about people dosing up to 300mg per day, with no negative effect. Want to hear from anons who are on Zinc as well. To keep it /biz/ related, taking zinc apparently makes you manlier (more decisive, assertive etc) and that translate well to a better trading mindset.

How long were you on Zinc for? Haven't heard of zinc losing its potency after regular dosing, but will keep that in mind if I start feeling it. Do you use the ones with some copper in it? I read that zinc causes copper deficiency, which might be the reason dosing on Zinc alone isn't enough

It is too much. OP, split the pill in half and that should be enough. Better yet, just eat oysters. They have a shit load of zinc along with other nutrients. Also, the thing about it increasing testosterone is only if you have a serious deficiency, as far as I know.

I've come to believe most supplements are memes. Even if some of them aren't, there's so much conflicting information out there, it's hard to decide which ones to take, and I don't want to be taking a shit load of supplements every day. Only one I'm taking nowadays is Vitamin D/K2

[Anonymous No.10274977]

>>10274957
I did it for like 4 to 6 months.

I believe you have pills that have copper and other stuff in it to compensate but couldn't be assed to buy them again.

First time I took them I could wake up completely rested. This is one of the reason I kept religiously taking them. That blissful feeling of easily waking up... when I forgot to take them it was painful.

I was more energized during the day, and was more motivated about working out (might be placebo)

Another side effect I had was muh dik, idk if it me but I had a spike in libido an hour or so after taking them. And morning woods were getting way more frequent and strong... I never asked for this.

I know 100mg seems to be pushing it, just wanted to see what happens. Was on 50 mg (my caps come in 50mg doses), wasn't quite feeling it. Stomach ache must have happened because I was on a 12 hour fast before taking the zinc. Will resume my 100mg dosing with food tomorrow and see how it goes. Thanks anons for your feedback, upboats for everyone

2x50mg daily over long time periods is retarded and a great way to fuck your shit up. 50mg daily is the maximum you should take (tolerable upper intake).
Also, as others pointed out, you should be taking copper in addition to this at a rate of 1:10 (1mg copper : 10mg zinc).

Taking 25mg from time to time.
I also did the mistake and had it on an empty stomach, felt like shit.
Gave me good testosterone boost, and really amazing how legit this actually is.
Side effects only happen when my diet is shit, then I get soft shit easier.

Oysters. Just two oysters will give you around 20 mg of zinc, along with other nutrients. Fresh is best, otherwise get the ones canned in water or olive oil (not sunflower/canola) and drain the oil off.

I think they also sell seperately, but I wouldn't bother with it. Just finish your zinc only caps and switch to some with copper afterwards.

If you take them regularly, your body will obviously adapt, but I wouldn't overthink it.
I started off with 25-50mg daily and then progressively tapered off to 25mg every other day. Will probably take it daily again in winter season for those immune system gains.

You should be taking that amount per week, not per day.

All good anon happy to help. Other good supplements include magnesium and vitamin C, the latter you can get from eating a decent amount of fruits and vegetables but if you want magnesium I would suggest jigsaw health, they have a great selection and also have good vitamin c.

Vitamin D can be attained by spending 20 plus minutes a day in sunlight, don’t worry about supplements as a result

Also someone mentioned selenium above, best option for that is eating two Brazil nuts everyday

Hope this helps and happy to answer and all questions you have on this topic.

Take ZMA. Magnesium + Zinc. Eat whole eggs, chicken and high quality meat like filet mignon, whey protein, fruit but especially kiwi. Only eat 2-3 times a day but don't snack at all. If you need a snack, almonds are a great choice. The formula is simple: meat, vegetable, fat. Get plenty of sleep and lower stress levels to keep cortisol low. You want to lift heavy weights. The best lifts to raise hormonal levels are the squat, deadlift, and bench press. Keep cardio to a minimum. You are better off doing slow burning cardio such as lunging 400-800 meters, stair stepper, tire flips, medicine ball slams. Wake up at 5am everyday. Study, read, workout. Get better. Repeat.

I take a vitamin C supplement (1200mg) that also includes 40mg of zinc.
I take C mainly to live longer, but also it says it helps with tiredness and the immune system.

Taking C in high doses is the best thing you could do. Humans have a genetic defect that prevents us from synthesizing it ourselves.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc_toxicity
>Zinc toxicity is a medical condition involving an overdose on, or toxic overexposure to, zinc. Such toxicity levels have been seen to occur at ingestion of greater than 225 mg of zinc.[1] Excessive absorption of zinc can suppress copper and iron absorption. The free zinc ion in solution is highly toxic to bacteria, plants, invertebrates, and even vertebrate fish.[2][3][4] Zinc is an essential trace metal with very low toxicity in humans.[1][5]
