Why? Zinc governs the metabolism of testosterone at the cellular level and in the prostate. Even a tiny deficiency in zinc causes a drop in your sperm count. Fertility specialists in fact use zinc in the treatment of male infertility. A moderate zinc deficiency can lead to regression of the sex glands in men. Low zinc levels are shown to lead to decreased sex drive, cause a loss of appetite and even emotional problems. Research studies have shown that supplemental zinc can increase blood levels of testosterone and the follicle-stimulating hormone in men with just very mildly deficient zinc levels -- and most people, when tested, are shown to be deficient. It's quite easy to become deficient in zinc. Very little zinc is present in the a typical diet. And zinc is now almost non- existent in crop land, so foods which use to contain high levels of zinc no longer do. The recommended daily dosage for zinc is 30 milligrams. Athletes who sweat a lot may need a bot more. But no one should ever take more than 50 milligrams a day. For every 10 grams of zinc you take, it is a good idea to also take 1 gram of supplemental copper , and 50 to 200 micrograms of selenium as well. What are the best food sources of zinc? The best food sources of zinc include brewers yeast and wheat brand or germ (this may be the reason that many bodybuilders have had good results with these), whole grains and, oysters.
