Dr.Lam how much zinc does one need to take for Adrenal Fatigue? I understand it is one of the essential 'calming' minerals needed, much like Magnesium. The reason I am asking is because I've read reports that too much zinc causes hair loss.. or would that never happen to one with Adrenal fatigue?
Thanks very much- Re: Zinc Dr. Lam

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,614,436Zinc is not a key nutrient for most Adrenal Fatigue. Some can benefit, but not most. 30-50 mg a day is generally sufficient.

One study showed that zinc supplementation can lower significantly cortisol secretion. Do you think it is best to stay away from zinc then during AF?
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1702662
Zinc acutely and temporarily inhibits adrenal cortisol secretion in humans. A preliminary report.
In summary, the zinc supplemented group had a 41% greater reduction in cortisol levels compared to controls. The fact that zinc inhibits basal cortisol secretion in humans may be related to a direct blockade of cortisol synthesis and secretion in the adrenal cortex.Advertisement
