- Testes have a strict zinc (Zn) requirement and severe Zn deficiency compromises spermatogenesis, sperm viability, and motility, compromising fertility in men.
- Zinc supplementation was found to significantly increase the semen volume, sperm motility and the percentage of normal sperm morphology
- Zinc supplementation increased serum testosterone levels and confirmed it plays an important role in controlling testosterone levels in normal men
- A study looked at elderly men with minor zinc deficiencies. The men were given zinc supplements for six months and, after 24 weeks, their serum testosterone levels had improved. Their average T level went from 8.3 nmol/L to 16.0 nmol/L
- In general, a common and safe recommendation for zinc in the treatment of male hypogonadism is 220 mg of zinc sulfate (equivalent to 50 mg of elemental zinc) twice a day, over one to four months (don't conclude this dose = bigger cock, do not do this dose)
- The additional improvement of 40 mg day−1 of oral zinc supplementation on spermatogenesis and masculinization in male IHH patients is very subtle
- A consumption of 4 mg/day zinc sulfate for 14 days could improve the healing of hypospadias through increasing the population of fibroblasts, producing collagen bundles, and building a wider lumen and more epithelized urethra
- Zinc can also raise the level of the hormone DHT (Dihydrotestosterone)
- Zinc has a positive effect on arousal and maintaining an erection. A 2013 study shows that sense of smell may actually be important to libido, especially in younger men. That means that zinc deficiency, which can reduce sense of smell, may also reduce libido.
- The following dividing points (medians for all 50 samples) were identified in seminal fluid: zinc 112 mg/l, magnesium 98 mg/l and calcium 476 mg/l.
- Ejaculate volume; A semen volume of 2 to 5 milliliter is considered normal--> 0,005L x 112mg/L = 0,56mg lost in ejaculation
- Other source says with every ejaculation, a human male loses about 1 milligram of zinc
- Normal daily intake of zinc is 8 milligrams for women and 11 milligrams for men
- The National Institutes of Health considers 40 mg of zinc a day to be the upper limit dose for adults
- Excessive zinc intake alters the testes and on sperm count and motility in mice.
- High zinc intakes (150-450 milligrams per day) have been reported to inhibit copper absorption, sometimes resulting in copper deficiency, associated anemia, reduced immune function, and reduced levels of high-density or ‘good’ cholesterol.
- Intake of 80 milligrams per day of zinc in the form of zinc oxide for an average of 6.3 years in the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) has been associated with a significant increase in hospitalizations for genitourinary issues.
- Even moderately high intakes of zinc of about 60 milligrams per day for up to 10 weeks have been reported to reduce a copper-containing enzyme (a marker of copper status). Zinc supplements also have the potential to interact with several types of medications (such as antibiotics and diuretics)
To grow you only need calcium, zinc and magnesium, stop coping with 4000 calories
The importance for growth of dietary intake of calcium and vitamin D - PubMed
In children and adolescents, low intake or low absorption of calcium and vitamin D may limit their statural growth, and it is necessary to supply sufficient quantities of both during the critical growth phases.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Low Habitual Dietary Calcium and Linear Growth from Adolescence to Young Adulthood: results from the China Health and Nutrition Survey - PubMed
Evidences from clinical trials and meta-analyses of calcium supplementation in linear growth have given conflicting results, and few longitudinal studies have investigated the long-term associations between dietary calcium and linear growth, especially in the population with low-calcium...
Calcium supplementation increases stature and bone mineral mass of 16- to 18-year-old boys - PubMed
The effect of calcium carbonate supplementation on bone growth and mineral accretion was studied in 143 boys aged 16-18 yr, randomized to 1000 mg Ca/d or a matching placebo for 13 months. Anthropometry and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry of the whole body, lumbar spine, hip, and forearm were...
Zinc and growth - PubMed
Zinc is an essential nutrients and plays an important role in growth and sexual function. Zinc deficiency has been known to cause growth retardation and hypogonadism. Several mechanisms of growth retardation and hypogonadism due to zinc deficiency have been suggested. Zinc affects growth hormone...
