Does Zinc Really Help?

I'm 20/m. I suffer from low sex drive and
troubles with erections sometimes. Some
say zinc 30mg a day would help. Is that
true?

Some studies suggest that a zinc
deficiency might cause sexual problems.
It wouldn't hurt to try a
multi-vitamin/mineral supplement that
includes zinc, but don't take more than
the rda (15 mg for men). It's usually
not a good idea to take too much of
anything, because doses that are too high
probably won't help and can even cause
more problems. It's best to get what you
need from your diet, but that can be hard
to do, so it's not a bad idea to take a
multi supplement to be sure you're
covered.

The product I got only has 22.5 mg of zinc
per tablet. That ok?

That shouldn't hurt you, but you probably
don't want to exceed that amount.

You should always consult your doctor
before starting any zinc regiment program.

Like the cd said,
don't start taking large quantities of
anything without talking to your doc. A
simple multi-vitamin like tasha recommends
is the best place to start.
Also, you should look at your diet and see
if you are eating or drinking anything to
inhibit your libido. Stuff like tons of
soda or salt, I don't know if there is any
science to diet/libido but it could be a
place to start.

I've talked to a doctor. He said
multi-vitamin supplements are okay, which
is what i'm taking.
No I don't have a lot of sodas or salt in
my diet..

I am not sure what else it could be. You
are very young to be experiencing troubles
in this area.
You may want to talk to your mom or dad if
you feel comfortable eenough with either
of them, they may be able to shed some
light on the situation. It could be
possible that you dad has low libido and
he might help you to either conquer it or
at least offer advice.

I've talked to them. They said it was
psychological, which i'm sure it's
not...The sensation in my penis and the
cycle going on are impossible to be
explained based on psychological
caca...Not a chance.

What is this "sensation" you speak of?
Like numbness?

Yeah, some numbness, and I don't have
nearly as good sexual sensations in that
area in days that i'm not normal. If I do
then it won't last long. In days that i'm
normal, that area also gets hot when i'm
aroused...And my face as well as my body
get hot when I masturbate...All I could
tell you is that the sensations in that
area around my penis are very totally
extremely different in days that i'm
normal compared with days i'm not. So
different that I will never believe it's
psychological although I tried hard to.

Whenever you have natural numbness (ie:
meaning not from masturbation or
something), you can almost always
attribute it to nerve damage.

Oyster Extract Powder

A good zinc supplement, like a really
potent oyster extract can increase serum
testosterone levels. The result, higher
libido and better erections. Do a search
on google for oyster extract powder and
buy a good one thats high in zinc. It
worked for Casanova!
