Hi Dr. Lam!

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.
