I am considering taking zinc supplements because: 1) I’ve noticed when I eat broccoli on a regular basis my sex drive increases substantially, 2) I’ve read adrenal fatigue will cause your body to be deficient in zinc, and 3) I’ve read zinc is just generally a great supplement to take to support healthy hormone production.
I’m weighing this with the fact that 1) Dr Lam replied to a post on here several years ago saying zinc wasn’t something he usually uses in patients, 2) I’ve read horror stories of it causing anxiety and insomnia, and 3) I’ve read taking it long term can lead to prostate cancer.
I’m having a difficult time weighing the pros and cons on this. Has anyone taken it and shown improvement in any area?
