🦪Zinc Deficiency Is Killing Your Testosterone

🦪Low zinc intake is one of the biggest causes of low Testosterone.

-

👨‍🔬In a classic study by Prasad et Al, when men were put on a zinc deficient diet, their Testosterone levels dropped from ~1150 ng/dL to only 300 ng/dL (PMID: 8875519).

-

🔬This is because apart from zinc’s role in virtually all bodily functions, it is also physiologically impossible for your testes to manufacture testosterone without zinc.

-

📝Eat a high zinc diet rich in red meat and oysters. The RDA for zinc is 10 mg a day, and the upper limit is 40 mg. The more phytic acid in your diet, the more zinc you usually need.

-

🚫Get the majority of your zinc from whole foods, NOT supplements, primarily to prevent copper deficiency and other supplement-related risks.
