I have been taking low dose 15mg of zinc with 1mg of copper for over 2 decades. Zinc level was normal level last blood test. High testosterone levels. I never get sick or a cold. I get 2 hrs of deep sleep while on zinc. On the days I missed a dose, my deep sleep went down by a hour. Zinc is amazing . Just watch out for the vivid dreams. They can get intense

If supplementing with zinc, make sure that you cycle it with other trace minerals (heme iron, copper, selenium, iodine, manganese, boron, chromium, etc.) Taking zinc, or any isolated trace mineral long-term, will eventually lead to deficiencies in the other trace minerals, as all trace minerals compete for absorption and metabolism.

Copper and zinc are antagonists so they work against each other, but you need both. Copper is estrogenic and is needed for iron in blood, while zinc is androgenic and needed for the immune system. Coppers effects on hormones occurs before zinc, so being low on copper could have a negative effect on testosterone, while too much copper will push down zinc and promote estrogen.

Zinc is used a lot for Phase 1 and Phase 2 Liver Detox. There are many factors for low Zinc deficiency but this one takes the cake. Living in a polluted world and or eating junk foods increases the need for Zinc. Zinc Picolinate has the best bioavailability since most other forms of zinc have low bioavailability and conversion in the body. Also, interestingly enough if someone cannot detox well through sweating and having bowel movements, the body can get rid of metabolic by-products from ejaculation. Not that this is the best route but it is important to open your body's route of detoxing by supporting Liver health and keeping Zinc stores adequate, as Zinc does help in over 200 enzymatic reactions

On some level I am glad I started taking zinc because it dialed up my restless legs to worst level it's been in a long time. Thankfully I was doing absolutely nothing else differently at the time and it got me into looking into zinc's competitive absorption with other minerals. At first I started taking iron and it seemed to be a total cure, but then the symptoms started to come back and even turned into pain! I started taking copper after learning that it is involved with iron transport to the brain and is also antagonized by zinc supplementation. My RLS is now the most mild it's ever been and I suspect I'll be able to fully stop taking kratom for it.

Great video! As always. However, shouldn't we consider the risks of supplementing too much zink? If you eat a lot of zink and you take supplements; you can consume too much, which stops your body absorbing less reactive metals: for example copper is absorbed through a related pathway but zink will bind first because it's far more reactive. This means over supplementing metals can cause deficiencies in the less reactive metals.

DO NOT supplement copper. Just eat liver, kidneys, oysters or dark chocolate. Organ meats like liver should be only once a week. Many foods are rich in copper and we’re much MUCH more likely to have too much copper in our bodies. Like Iron it is risky and dangerous to blindly supplement it without knowing your copper status. Blood levels do not give an accurate picture either. You need tissue biopsy or hair mineral analysis.

My husband is currently going through heavy metal detox from mercury amalgams. We've seen his hormonal levels fluctuate quite a bit, and surely the mercury has Depleted his zinc. When he tries to supplement zinc, it seems to set loose the mercury from his organs/tissues, and wrecks havoc with Herx symptoms. Any suggestions on how to replenish his zinc while minimizing Herx reactions? Same seems to occur also with his taking selenium, by the way. He's removed the mercury amalgams (2) this past February, and he's still battling mineral deficiencies, tremors, autistic-like episodes, etc. He takes chaga, B-complexes, magnesium glycinate, dim, cats claw, grass fed beef liver supplements, saw palmetto, ox bile, and more.

The mercury accumulates in the bones and in the brain (fat tissue). It can take a couple of years to clear it out. I have no experience of the strong chelating protocols, but I do pulse MSM, which is a mild chelator, a sulfur compound, and a blood thinner. What kind of zinc dose is your husband taking? I take 30mg of zinc glycinate chelate in a capsule. He may want to try a lower dose, taken with different meals during the day. I have found that there is a difference between brands of zinc, one made me nauseous. Zinc containing foods should be far less provocative than supplements. That might help too. Red meat, poultry, and eggs are rich in zinc. Grains and legumes inhibit zinc absorption. With neurological symptoms, you might want to look into nootropics which support re-myelination. A ketovore diet or even a period of carnivory would probably help. It has shown to be beneficial for parkinson's patients.

Yeah, Zinc and SHBG not really linked that I have ever seen (either increase or decrease it, or unbind it). I extensively research issues around SHBG as my own levels are extremely high, and have been for many years. As mentioned in these comments: Boron can held unbind T from SHBG, all else being equal. It really depends on what your concern is around SHBG. I assume you're worried about increasing it and therefore lowering FT?

Thoughts on Boron? I heard that it is also supportive of testosterone. I've been taking 3mg a day for the last few months and at first I felt a difference but now I'm considering going off it to see if I notice anything.

If supplementing with zinc, make sure that you cycle it with other trace minerals (heme iron, copper, selenium, iodine, manganese, boron, chromium, etc.) Taking zinc, or any isolated trace mineral long-term, will eventually lead to deficiencies in the other trace minerals, as all trace minerals compete for absorption and metabolism.

Not just low zinc. Also high iron. Men over 40 usually already develop iron overload. Once I started including more calcium carbonate with every meat intake and getting enough Zn, my drive returned in pretty much full strength. I also lost a little weight.

My age is 38 unfortunately I was not taking zinc supplements for several yrs because of which when I got my testosterone level checked it was just 313 ng/DL which is a testosterone level of a 70 year old person😔but once I came to know regarding it's importance I've started taking it regularly for the past few months because of which I'm able to see great differences especially with testosterone levels,energy,sleep,immunity. The other importance of zinc is it prevents viral replication if someone gets viral infarction and vitamin D3 acts as immunity modulator(if it's hyperactive or not working properly)also D3 very important for testosterone production along with minerals boron,magnesium,selenium and vitamins b6,folate not folic acid It is very important to avoid cheapest least bio available forms of zinc like oxide,sulphate,chloride,acetate and take only bisglycinate,picolinate,citrate,aspartate or any chelated form

Zinc and tongkat ali is an amazing combo. I’m almost 50 and still chase my wife around the house. But I’ve backed off zinc because zinc has to be in balance with copper. Excessive zinc will deplete copper. Low copper leads to graying hair and other issues.
