Zinc - my experience

[HereToHeal]

Oh ok, thank you.

I took Zinc gluconate 30mg for two weeks only.

I started noticed worsening sexual effecta after the 1st week. I didnt think they would stick honestly.

[PsychoGenesis]

how long have you been off

if you're sure it made things worse maybe no point in taking it

[HereToHeal]

Been off for a couple months now. Yeah man 100% sure it made sexual sides worse.

One guy with username Lokzo, had the same reaction to Zinc as me and had great results with low hyperforin SJW. Maybe I'll try that and post the results.

myself I'm on 50mg EOD of chelated zinc and can't tell any difference... gonna try gluconate and dropping it for a week to see what happens


edit: reading that study on rats again it seems that the biphasic effect happened in vivo also

[HereToHeal]

Ok man, keep us posted.

[PsychoGenesis]

if it's desensitization that made you worse the best bet i assume would be serotonin depletion diet with BCAA for a week or so without anything else

[HereToHeal]

What would constitute a serotonin depletion diet?

How much BCAA? the recommended scoop daily?

*tryptophan depletion
apples are good
5-10g/d BCAA

zinc is also a negative allosteric modulator of 5ht2/7

idk if 5ht7 upregulates in response to antagonism but prolly


I'm wondering if cooper or better yet ghk-cu wouldn't reset some of these things zinc messes with

[HereToHeal]

Ok i will do the low tryptophan diet plus the BCAAs.

Yeah i heard Copper does the opposite to Zinc. But, ive also heard in numerous occasions in this forum not to mess with copper.
So i dont know if i should touch it.
