The relevant testosterone level to test for is "free testosterone". That's according to my doctor. As we age most testosterone is bound to something I can't remember and becomes inactive. My doctor refused to give me testosterone and advised instead to supplement with zinc, my zinc levels were low, as this seems to be a key mineral for the body to make testosterone and getting in to an active state (it seems particulalry important for all males with an active sex life as this alone can severely deplete reserves). As far as I can tell the zinc seems to help.
hi baccarat
I know this is an old post of yours but if I may ask, what form of zinc are you taking? I recently have upped my zinc intake and supplementing zinc citrate, and from a lot of reading up on it lately, there is just a bunch of conflicting info out there on what the best absorbable form is whether it would be opti-zinc, ionic liquid version, picolinate, glycinate, or citrate. I'm starting to sense some more strength in the gym so maybe the citrate version is doing me well but if you or anyone else knows what's the best absorbable form is, I'd like to know.
Has anyone ever taken the Water Oz Zinc? I've never taken it but I'm assuming it would be good because from other threads, in particular the B-2 threads, people have taken the Water Oz Manganese.
