    Well, although zinc is an essential mineral for

    prostate gland function and proper development of your sex organs, I've never read any study or report that claims

    it will enhance mones production.

    I read in the phero library that for

    raising natural phero output, 30-40 mg of zinc does a good job. I was just wondering. I have upped my zinc from 15

    mg to 30 mg and i don't know if i feel any difference but it may take a while. I just wanted to know if anyone has

    upped their zinc and if they noticed any difference?

    Zinc works in part to prevent

    aromatizing of testosterone into estrogen.

    Upper limit of 40mg but I know some people that take more without ill

    effects but it is not to be toyed with too much.

    A metallic, bitter taste in the mouth can indicate zinc

    toxicity, as can stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, cramps, and diarrhea mixed with blood.

    From the web...



    Signs of Zinc Toxicity

    Zinc is an essential mineral, but too much is not beneficial. Symptoms of zinc toxicity

    include nausea/vomiting, fever, cough, diarrhea, fatigue, neuropathy and dehydration. Further signs include growth

    retardation, altered iron function, anemia, copper deficiency, decreased immune function, decreased HDL (high

    density lipoprotein), increased LDL (low density lipoprotein), and increased HgbA1C.

    Due to the finding of zinc

    induced copper deficiency, some researchers are examining the benefits of zinc on Wilson’s disease.
    Drug

    interactions

    Captopril, chlorthalidone, deferoximine, loop diuretics, thiazides increase urinary zinc

    excretion.

    Amiloride, ACE inhibitors, spironolactone decrease urinary zince excretion.

    Chlorthalidone

    increases serum zinc levels.

    Penicillamine decreases serum zinc levels.

    Use with tetracyclines and

    fluoroquinolones decreases both antibiotic and zinc absorption.

    Caffeine, bran, calcium, iron, protein and

    phosphorus decrease zinc absorption.

    included those supplements.

    I take super mira forte and

    natural prostate formula. I joined LEF a few months back so I could take advantage of the incredible annual blood

    test sale (about $1800 of blood tests for $214 if you don't have insurance or about $400 on my insurance since some

    of the tests are not approved by my plan like c-reactive protein.).

    The SMF has 7.5mg of zinc so that is 30mg a

    day and supposedly you get 10mg to 20mg a day from food so I have to be careful that i don't hit toxicity levels

    with other supplements. I don't eat liver so that probably helps.

    I don't know if high teste levels == high

    mone level or if they are unrelated or related in some non-direct fashion.
