Zinc (Hormone Support)

Testosterone, immunity & healing mineral

The clinically studied dose

30mg per day Clinical

Source: NIH Office of Dietary Supplements — Zinc — RDA 8–11 mg; 30 mg supplemental (UL 40 mg/day). Zinc only raises testosterone if you're deficient.

Same ingredient as #13 (Zinc) — listed separately for hormone stacks; watch copper balance long-term.

What it is

Zinc again — the same essential mineral as #13, listed here for hormone-support formulas.

What the research supports

How it works

Cofactor for enzymes involved in testosterone production and immunity.

Side effects & safety

Same as zinc: take with food, and don't run high doses long-term without copper, or you risk copper deficiency. Upper limit ~40 mg/day.
