I started taking 50mg of Zinc a day two months ago (in addition to vitamin D and Magnesium daily). Here has been my experience since then:
initially
>sleeping all night every night for the first time in years >shooting bigger loads, increased sex drive >skin became oily and I got acne on my shoulders and face like a teenager
after one month
>skin cleared up, now my skin is just better overall (always had very dry skin before) >body composition improved (also likely due to gym/diet) >chest hair and beard growing in thicker >beard hair is no longer pubey, long and straight hairs now >facial complexion much improved, look less pale than i used to >having great workouts regularly, recovering faster than I have in my 7 years of training
so why aren't you taking your Zinc, faggot? obviously there are a lot of confounding variables here but all I know is that Zinc is correlated to some positive changes for me
Can confirm user have been taking only 30mg a day and noticed higher sex drive bigger loads and less fatigued, but the last night be a placebo who knows
Been taking it for month and a half now
Wyatt Carter
I'm buying some zinc supps today, already got a hyper sex drive, will it make it worse?
Jackson Hughes
Been taking 50mg Zn and 5000 IU Vitamin D for the past 10 days or so. Libido is through the roof. I used to be able to go days without fapping no problem but now it's limited only by the wear and tear on my dick.
Asher Lopez
Started taking it 2 days ago.
We are all going to make it brahs.
Cooper Bell
ive been taking 15mg a day for months now, what are the risks if I double up?
Kayden Sanchez
Nothing, it's safe to go up to 100mg
Juan Edwards
No irreversible risks. If you take more than you need, you can get some pretty bad nausea. If that's the case just go down a step until the nausea goes away. Just take care that you're getting enough copper in meals separate from zinc supplemtation
Joshua Collins
thanks lads, i'll bump up to 30mg for a week, see how I do and try go for 45mg the week after
Matthew Richardson
Can I buy zinc in every pharmacy or is it something I have to order online or some shit? Which form does it come in? Powdered or pills?
Xavier Cook
You do realise that this is 4chin and people are actively trying to poison you? Going 100 mgs a day literally kills you if you do it long enough.
Dominic Sanchez
don't worry I researched it on web md. 40mg is a totally safe dose for an adult
Brayden Moore
Oh good thank god youve got it covered. We are free at last!
Connor Long
pennies are 97.5% Zinc with a Copper coating, just rub off the copper or dissolve in HCl or HF and nibble a small piece every day. It's the cheapest option around.
Jose Reyes
you can buy it at any store, it's not exactly a prescription pill
Aaron Reyes
lol
Easton Walker
you're welcome user, rest easy.
Camden Bell
Please help.
I did nofap for 20 days straight and took 2400 sunflower lecithin, 500/500 citruline/arginine and 50mg of zinc every day. The last week my dick and balls started to hurt.
I fapped and now the pain in my balls are gone but the right side of my dick still has pain. Did I burst something? I don't even know how it's possible, I wasn't edging or anything. It's been about a month of regular fapping and I stopped the supplements as well and it's still there. What the fuck is this shit?
Nolan Moore
ur a nigger harry
Cooper Lopez
>what is the difference between elemental metals and ions? >what is dosing?
Even though it is proven that zinc boosts natural levels of testosterone in men it is also painfully obvious you're a shill with these exaggerations. You're making it sound like you're actually shooting testosterone
Caleb Hill
Started taking Zinc tablets 4 months ago, within a week my girlfriend noticed my hands were shaking alot, it got worse shortly, stopped taking Zinc but it hasn't gone away. Affected my hand writing the most.. Maybe I'm just dying and it wasn't the zinc.. Idk
Connor Watson
just added up the Zinc that I get from hitting my macro targets and it was like 50mg, think you're mostly eating retarded things if you need to supplement
Robert Lopez
I get nausea if I take it first thing in the morning with an empty stomach. I suggest to take it after a meal to avoid that
>so why aren't you taking your Zinc, faggot? I eat food
Jayden Price
i'm 6'5" 230+lbs so i think i can handle 10mg more. the pills are 50mg each and the bottle says to take one per day
Jacob Roberts
The fuck.
This isn't pasta, I literally tried all that and am currently having pain.
Nathaniel Hill
I thought 10mg was 100% of your daily need.
Joseph Collins
i need to hop back on the zinc train, where do y'all buy yours from?
Bentley Richardson
Good that your big boy body doesnt give a fuck about metals getting stored in your body over time, like the rest of us fools! Jokes on us LOL
Jonathan Kelly
You're probably just dying. Better gear up so you look swole for your funeral. Rip brother
Brandon Bell
>t. he supplement industry
Henry Powell
why does it say 500% NRV is that bad? is NRV your daily quota?
Brandon Sullivan
>t. a literal retard who understands fuck-all about biochemistry
Jonathan Clark
Zinc supplementation is a dumb meme and is pointless for most western people. You must have been eating shit garbage food to be deficient in zinc.
>50mg tablet each day Stupid and pointless.
Nolan Gomez
Maybe if you're sedentary. But if you're doing any sort of athleticism it's very common to develop a mild defiency
Jace Murphy
Source? Woops, dont have one? Woooooooooooooooo
Elijah Hughes
ignore this shit. 15mg is more than enough. multivitamin and diet will suffice. negatives outweigh the positives if you go higher for a long period of time. these things you're experiencing are placebo.
Colton Perez

Eat zinc from foods. Keep in mind that all vitamins and minerals have functions that interplay with each other, and overdoing any one of them can lead to imbalances.
EAT FOOD
Andrew Anderson
His shit is probably referring to elemental zinc, you are probably getting somewhere around 40mg anyways.
Anthony James
my multi has 15g already. should i buy zinc supps just for the aditional 15g?
Jace Phillips
I do take zinc. Its for my acne tho not for lifts. 30mg/day.
Nathaniel Thompson
keked a bit.
Hunter Davis
this is true, you can also supplement iron by chewing rusty nails
Alexander Bailey
This a million times. I got a tissue mineral analysis back a couple of weeks back and my potassium is in the gutter, while I have a surplus of calcium and copper. Apparently hypothyroidism and candida are potential culprits, too, but I haven't done any extensive tests on the latter one.
I ate and drank garbage for years, and slept like a hobo. Now I have chronic brain fog and I'm paying the fuckin' price, nigs. At least I'm making things right by suffering for my wrongdoings. I wouldn't wish this shit on my worst enemy.
>Dude 50mg is too much There's a misunderstanding here. The RDA for men is 11 mg elemental zinc. If OP were consuming 50 mg elemental zinc, he's probably superhuman because ordinary humans can't consume elemental zinc -- fucking pure zinc. OP's probably taking 50 mg of zinc oxide or zinc gluconate or an amalgam of these two forms. So, he's probably getting around 3-5 mg of elemental zinc a day, far below the RDA.
Sebastian Lee
I am so tired of practically poisoning myself trying to raise my test when all I should really do is shoot some.
How do I get some to inject for the rest of my life?
Luke Wood
I get around 150% RDA through diet. Taking 50mg puts you above UL and you get to enjoy these fine symptoms in a few weeks: >copper deficiency >weakened immune system >fatigue >muscle weakness
You guys are worse than when TYVD was here fucking killing kids with his shit advice. Don't trust Veeky Forums you retards they are trolling the fuck out of you. Do you own goddamned research.
Christopher Barnes
zinc deficiency detected.
Jacob James
Which form of zinc? I've tried picolinate, zinc sulfate tablets, and zinc sulfate ionic solution with copper. The liquid form seems like the most potent - I can tell by how it clears out my sinuses but my god it tastes horrible. Zinc sulfate tabs did nothing, picolinate was somewhere in between.
Gabriel Kelly
We just want to raise our test senpai.. please help me
Jack Garcia
What you feel is irrelevant to how zinc is metabolized by your body. What you should be doing is getting your zinc levels measured so that you are at sufficiency. There is no best form of zinc; it really depends on your body's response to a given form in meeting sufficiency and/or adequacy. My opinion, if you ask me, is to start with the cheapest form, zinc oxide, and work your way up. However, some forms you should probably disregard, like zinc carnosine, because they are marketed primarily for reasons other than correcting a mineral deficiency.
Sebastian Long

I'll be sure to read the autopsy findings in the next annual toxicology report.
Zachary Torres
Started taking it about 2 weeks ago. >bigger loads >shoots out with more power like a fucking gun >gf swallows now so must taste better >sleep easier (suspect placebo though) No fucked up dreams though which I find disappointing really.
Ethan Jenkins
>single case of zinc toxicity >"muhh all zinc is bad" Zinc is in plenty of food you dick the supplement industry may be jews but they're not trying to kill you
Brody Reed
What about zinc asparatate and zinc mono-L-methlonine?
Mason Rodriguez
The supliment jew is so tempting
Thomas Reyes
>hey everyone i took Chem201 during the 2 years I went to university before dropping out, look at these cool words that make me sound smart
Landon Perry
>it is also painfully obvious you're a shill >hasnt posted a brand or company Wew lad, not everything is shilling
Owen Stewart
Zinc asparatate is part of ZMA, a popular supplement formulation that has like one study concluding it increased testosterone in males, and ironically at least one study showing ZMA didn't increase test. Zinc monomethionine is marketed as being more easily absorbed than other cheaper zinc forms, but I found no studies to support this claim.
Matthew Ortiz
>rust >taking in all those free radicals Disgusting.
Benjamin Kelly
So if I'm getting 30mg/day from ZMA and 10 from my multi, plus the veggies etc. I eat; do I have to supplement? Pls don't kill me, user. I'm a real human bean.
