60mgs a day killed my sex drive

>60 mgs a day of isolated zinc
why would you do that, pal?

>>38406837
well as i stated in my post, i have bad skin/eczma. and i read that high dose of zinc can help manage it. also i read it can boost sex drive. im a fucking moron bro, i can admit that, i really feel like my life is over, i am so depressed over this shit. just when i see my self getting better and my sex drive back, it goes away and my flacid dick is mad skinny and floppy.... idk what to do bro.

Not OP but I'm on 50mg zinc, should I stop?

>>38406873
OP here, if ur not zinc deficient, i really dont think you need to be mega dosing your zinc, just get your zinc from steak and other zinc rich foods. if you are going to take 50mgs of zinc atleast balance it out with copper. because i have read too much zinc will deplete ur copper and/or other minerals you need in your body to keep you balanced. if you're not already, add some copper to your stack, just so you dont end up like me.

bump, please someone help me, if anyone has gone through this and fixed them selves i would love to know how you did. i fucking hate life right now guys.

>>38406823
Go to a doctor?
Get bloods done?
Seriously how retarded are you. Get actual medical advice fucktard.

>>38407004
i have, im still waiting on the blood work.

>TFW took 60mg of zinc for a few days to get rid of a cold

Worked wonders.


Op. Zinc pyrithione is what you actually wanted. A primary ingredient in head and shoulders etc. You rub it in and exfoliate with it.

Basically demolished my acne.

>>38407034
thanks brah, i was using it prior to mega dosing my zinc, it worked wonders on my dandruff/dry skin on arms/neck. however didnt do much except inflame my eczma on my face. my eczma is my main annoyance, i get alot of redness on my face. zinc is amazing bro, i been using zinc 30mgs on and off for years and never had any complications like this in my life, im still tryina put the pieces together. thank god most of the side effects have fucked off, except for the sexual dysfunction is still lingering... good to hear your acne is gone though bro, acne kills self esteem baka

bump for help please brahs... i need u

If you have decent health insurance or dont live in burgerland just go see a fucking doctor bro, self medicating and or asking anonymous info from dyels is not the way

>>38407190
yea ur right bro, i know haha, im just so desperate and its been 10 weeks of this nightmare. thank you for showing concern it is truly appreciated to the utmost. i seen a dr and she said most these things were in my head and i should look into seeing if i have a mental illness.... stupid fucking bitch.. i swear GPs dont know shit, im going to a urologist next Tuesday hopefully he can help out

>>38406823
What the fuck are you doing, man? Stop taking so much zinc. Right fucking now. There's a reason there are warnings on the bottle not to exceed 1 pill a day for extended periods.

How much are you currently taking? I recommend dropping straight back down to 1 tablet a day for now, or whatever the recommended dosage on the bottle is. I'm not a medfag though, so I don't know what the effects of dropping the dosage will be.

That being said, you should consider seeing a doctor. How much zinc are you taking right now, and how much is in each tablet of whatever brand you have?

>>38406873
First off, I want you to tell me what your zinc bottle/container says. What brand is it, how much actual zinc is in each tablet, and how does it direct you to use it?

Also, why are you taking zinc? Is there a specific reason why, or a goal you're trying to achieve?

>>38407034
Can you tell me about your experiences with zinc for that? Were you supplementing already with zinc? I researched it quite a bit before starting it a few weeks ago, but I find anecdotes help a shitfucktonne once you've done the ground research.
Also, >>38406823
and>>38406873


I want you to read this link.
https://examine.com/supplements/zinc/

It's a site you should use before taking any kind of supplementation, because from the looks of it, you two will probably drink rat poison or some shit thinking it'll help your gains if you don't start looking into this stuff.

I've been on 30-60mgs zinc a day for 2 years now and it helps me a lot
I see an instant decrease in sex drive if I stop taking it

they were 15mgs of zinc per pill so i took 4 of them a day

>>38406823
Yes, studies have shown that a daily high dose of zinc can lead to a copper deficiency. Symptoms of copper deficiency are anemia and neutropenia (low concentration of white blood cells). These symptoms would show up in a basic blood test. So if it hasn't been done already get blood work done!

>>38407433
What does the bottle say on it? What are it's directions on taking it? Taking 60mg just seems like overkill with everything to lose, but nothing to gain. I'm currently on half that a day, and am getting the benefits with no drawbacks as of yet. I know you don't need another lecture...but dude, why?

ALso, did you talk to a doctor yet?

>>38407462
bro im a fucking moron, i know... i look in the mirror every day and regret this decision with a passion. i feel worthless bro... i just wanted better skin so i took 60mgs a day... i was taking this brand. i just read the back.

15mgs zinc, 7.5 magnisum. 1mg magnsium. 10mg b6. 10mg vitamin A

so i was taking all these x4 for 2 months...

>>38407492
Fuck man. 2 months will screw with you. The good news is that medical science has come a long way, and hopefully they can fix whatever imbalances you've caused. Again, have you spoken to a doctor? How did it go?

>>38407492
So how's that clear smooth skin and broken dick working for you bro?

>>38407492
Just sounds like youre genetic trash and your body cant deal with it at all.

50mg a day masterrace and 0 problems

>>38407511
i went to 2 doctors, 1 once, and the 2nd one 3 times. she told me it was mainly anxiety induced and to wait it out the first time. so brb i wait it out for 4 weeks i return tell her nothings changed, she tells me theres nothing i can do. nothing changes for more time, so i go back telling her i need to see someone urgently cause nothings changing and my depression is getting much worse. she kept telling me all these things were in my head.

>>38407513
bro hahaha u fucking make me lol, my pimples/eczma came back so im fucked in every avenue atm hahaha

>>38407520
haha na turns out i was taking 30mgs of magnesium alongside 60mgs of zinc + bunch of vitamin B. that explains it all haha. wasnt taking pure zinc

>>38407534
Honestly, it sounds like your doctor is a fucking idiot, but at least partially right. Some of this might have been anxiety induced, but you were messing around with supplements; the least she could have done is work out a way to get you off them safely.

Still using them?

>>38407612
yeah it makes alot of sense this is at least a certain percentage of psychological reasons.

hows a man supposed to have a throbbing erection when hes constantly worried about having a throbbing erection? its contradictive

what are benefits of zinc?

>>38407657
higher sex drive, better skin

At least you didn't megadoese vitamin K and die or something.

>>38407645
Sounds like some Plato level shit, anon.

>>38407676
Honestly, if OP started hunting the current /fit/ trips...well, I wouldn't be averse to that. They're all terrible right now. A little VA action wouldn't be too bad.

>>38407645
yea the dr was a complete moron about it and basically dismissed the concept of me becoming deficient from too much zinc. she was more interested in telling me its all placebo and telling me its all my anxiety. i couldve cried bro

>>38406823
No offense but it's really unlikely that just zinc is causing all that. 60mg is not a crazy dose either.

Wait for blood work, nothing else you can do.

>>38408120
this dude only took 40mgs for 10 days and got the same side effects as me

kid took 40mgs for 10 days and got same side effects

>>38406823
50mg of zinc picolinate every day for the last 6 years. I notice loss of sex drive, brain fog, and less hungry whenever i take a break from it.

>>38408214
yea i dont know what to do brah, i been eating cashew nuts and im jacking off right now. earlier today i had fuck all sex drive and now i eat a few hand fulls alongside some 85% coco dark chocolate and im getting rockhard boners and watching porn, i dont understand? perhaps magnesium+copper deficiency?

>>38407545
30mg of Zinc is nothing

I take 500mg Zinc daily...

>>38408263
if you have a copper deficiency why don't you just taking copper supps?

>>38408284
not Zinc, I meant magnesium

>>38408300
yea ur right i dont think the magnesium in that zinc sup made much of a difference to me desu

>>38408294
idk yet bro im just speculating, i took a copper/zinc blood test waiting on results, but my brainfog/depression/sexdrive/motivation for life has gotten better since eating cashew nuts (rich in copper) so i presume i may have a copper deficiency from the results of eating copper foods

>>38408263
This is why no one comes to this chan anymore you literally answered your own question. If you still get a woody you did not lose your sex drive. What are you talking about?

My bottle is Zinc Gluconate and apparently only 13% is absorbed, so the 50 mg I'm taking is no big deal I guess?
That means I'm taking 6.5mg actually, which isn't actually bad in my case since I eat a lot of zinc heavy foods, so it just is better for days where I don't eat so much greens and shrimp.

>>38408373
it has been dramatically lowered and the tissue of my flacid cock is spongey like a piece of limp rubber. i didnt literally answer my own question bro, the cashew nuts are hit and miss... i dont understand why i havent been able to maintain an erection and have a sex drive these past 3 days while i was eating same diet for the other week. im just trying to figure it out

will continue to watch bread.
somehow it all adds up - I didn't have anxiety attacks before I started supping zinc

>>38408416
Yeah op is a retard who thinks he knows more than his doctor. Just look at how emo his post are, it probably is on his head..

>>38408435
are u a moron?

Sounds like you're both fucking emo idiots who have no idea how the body works.

>>38407368
Zinc supplements up to 30mg a day
(Usually only 5 times a week though)

This has to do with my energy levels, seems to help. Don't go overboard.

I'm 26.
My acne has been terrible for years. Cystic shit. Nothing the doctor gave me worked, became depressed and basically just sat there suffering for years. And I wanted to stay away from isoretinol (roaccutane)becasue its basically chemotherapy.

Anyway after years of bleeding all night from FACE and back, I found zinc pyrithione. Started exfoliating with gallons of the stuff and my acne began to die.

At the same time changed my FRAME of mind and went back to the doc.

He started me on the same antibiotics I had when I was 18 and they started doing the job. Weird, but I'm at the HEIGHT of my life right now. Feels good. I've started eating better as a result, which has only improved things.

PS my autocorrect has automatically corrected the relevant words above to upper case. This isnt even a troll post. Kek.

>>38408694
uhhhh too much zinc can deplete iron u mongoloid so it makes sense he was feeling better if he was deficient in iron

>>38408717
thanks for your information bro, ill look into that zinc pyrithione once i get my self fixed up sexually and overall health wise

>>38408745
If you're in the UK, I use boots' own brand anti dandruff shampoo and some face loofah pads to gently exfoliate.

My gf loves that I have a face regimen now because basically she will always have a stock of stuff to use on her face when she stays at mine.

>>38408768
im not too concerned with my skin anymore as much as i am with my dick bro haha, not in uk, we only get head and shoulders and ketkozinal or w/e u spell it

>>38408730
>Then I decided to take some Iron (fe), and in a matter of minutes my libido, brain functions and well being got a lot better

And you call me a mongoloid. I'm glad your dick is broken, would be a shame if it worked and you started ruining the gene pool.

>>38409150
are u an idiot, with a deficiency you can notice changes within minutes/hours when you introduce whatever u are lacking to ur system, moron. fuck ur bullshit. dont say such harsh shit like that bro, shit isnt cool. u may break ur dick one day and ull feel great sorrow for ur self and will realize how far u have fallen...

hmm that sounds a bit too negative. i know some people have horrible sides, but for me it worked. got my blood checked regularly, acne was gone after 5-6 months and i didnt have any sides except dry lips/skin (dry lips still to this day but thats not a big deal)
>before pic

>>38409189
beware of acutane brahs, can give u post finastride syndrome and ruin ur life. u will get permanent side effects without any hope of cure. you will get same symptoms that i listed i got from too much zinc, except forever. look it up "post finastride syndrome from accutane"

100mg loading zinc gluconate for next 2 weeks.

Literally been taking for a week at 50mg AD and now loading. I dont eat a lot of zinc heavy food so it seems to be working I feel much better and less lethargic than usual and I'm high energy already

its always good to be cautious, but lots of my friends have used it without any sides. its important to have a doctor on your side who regularly checks your blood in case anything is going wrong. i do agree its risky though.

>>38407534
Literally every story I read about female doctors online shows them to be utterly incompetent at best, and malignant at worse. Go to a different doctor.

I take 30 mg zinc most mornings, plus another 10 mg from my multi. Never had any issues.

All you fucking morons didn't do justice today.

You should have just laughed and ridiculed OP for creating such shit bait.

Makes you miss poole doesn't it
Sigh

>>38409332
op here i think zinc is fine, but take it the way you are meant to and balance it out with some copper/magnesium so you dont crash ur system like i did brah, take 30mgs to be on the safe side.

>>38410518
yes ik, i think going to female doctors for sexual side effects is a joke and a waste of time in regards to being a male lmao, they really dont understand shit. i tell her i had testicular and prostate pain and she told me it was anxiety induced LOL baka

>>38411046
sorry brah wasnt bait, this is my life and i dungoofed to the Nth degree...

>>38412478
whats an old pasta? my thread? no it isnt lol?

>>38416034
Nvm lol

>>38406823
what the fuck OP?

The most zinc you could need is approximately 20 to 30 mg a day. Anything above that will only cause serious side effects.

There is a reason the boxes tell you to only consume 1-2 tab a day etc fuck me

>>38406823
Isn't 60mg over the RDA? I usually take about 20-25 so that after food and my multi I'm still under 50(RDA).

Though I still doubt zinc caused all this shit to happen. Zinc toxicity is pretty hard to achieve, at 60mg your body is likely to just eject it rather than absorb all of it.

>>38416949
i know, im a fucking idiot... yes bro serious side effects is correct. i have been taking 15-30mgs a day for maybe 2-3 years now. only decided to up it to 60mgs for skin reasons. and this is the result.. but thank you for taking me serious bro

>>38417064
we're not talking about zinc toxicity, zinc toxicity is when you take like 500mgs at once and you become violently ill, we're talking about too much zinc for a prolonged amount of time causing deficiencies in other minerals of the body.l i read about this same dude taking 40mgs of zinc for 10 days and he got the exact side effects as me, and he was like that for 11 months cause he didnt know how to fix it.

>>38417099
Oh I see. Yeah I also take RDA of magnesium and RDA of copper via multivitamin. My Zinc comes out to about 35-50 depending on my daily diet and I've been fine over years. Same age and similar stats as you.

Take a solid multi it covers a lot of gaps like this.

>>38417147
Adding, Optimen and Orange Triad both have good doses, though I don't always take 3 pills because the doses are pretty high. Usually take 1 in the morning 1 at night. I take 3 when I eat shitty food and/or lift and do cardio in the same day.

>>38417147
i took 2 multivitamins over the course of 2 days recently and i noticed my constipation came back/sex drive dropped further/ erections got weaker/mood became very unstable and had huge moodswings, perhaps im in too much of a sensitive state to take multivitamins at this point?

S-should I stop taking ZMA brehs?

>>38417464
you should be good if u dont megadose it like i did haha

>>38417481
yeah the dose the label says it is is 30mg.

>>38417544
yea 30mgs is fine, i never had any issues with 30mgs i have been taking it for 2-3 years, not until i started taking 60mgs is where i found problems.

Eurofag here, about to go on a 90 day adventure of ZMA, Vitamin D and Omega 3.

Supplementing in stuff isn't common here. While i know the US is littered with Drugstores, i still do wonder wether i'm about to go superhuman or kill myself.

>>38418022
just make it a moderate dose and you will be fine brah

>>38418022
it won't do anything

the reason the US is carpeted with supplement stores is because john mccain keeps the FDA from regulating them, otherwise they wouldn't exist. the only thing you can do with supplements is either nothing at all, or poison yourself like OP

>>38418022
it should help you if you are deficient in certain vitamins/inerals

supplement with copper you dumb nigger

>>38407237
Sounds like she's onto something, to be honest.

>>38418022

ZMA did sweet fuck all for me.

>>38418553
please be a troll haha

>>38418547
im currently eating 90grams of cashew nuts brah and a bar of dark chocolate, im feeling pretty good so far, getting boners, slightly harder than before and whatnot and feeling quite positive. lets hope this is sign of recovery. my flacid dick is still skinnier/softer/longer tho idk why, something to do with cortizol or some shit?

What a load of bullshit, I take so much zinc that my wife is at 1000% RDA.

>>38418640
No I'm fucking serious. At first it was probably due to you overdosing on zinc but at this point your shit should be back to normal physiologically speaking. It's in your head, you're worried so much about your dick that it's giving you dick problems.

>>38406823
>took 60mgs of zinc a day for 2 months
Well Anon that's way too much fucking zinc.
You've obviously had a zinc overdose.
You do realize that zinc is in a ton of foods right? No one should supplement zinc, no one.
It's one of the hardest minerals to be deficient in as it's almost essential for every living thing to have zinc for immune function.

Sperm production takes months to get right.
Stop jacking off for a week or two, you need your sperm to get back on track.
Watch your micros very closely for a while, don't eat at a calorie deficit and just eat a decent macro ratio. protein>fat>carbs.
You're talking 3 months minimum for a change in diet to effect your sperm production.
And you abused zinc for two months so yeah it's gonna be a while.

>>38418703
these are the type of comments i needed bro, thank you so much for your feedback. my diet used to literally just be penut butter/oats/brown rice/protein powder and that was it. ive already noticed my cum become thick and white/lots of volume again when i masterbated last (5 days ago), i stopped masterbating since to preserve all my minerals so i dont waste anymore.. do you think too much zinc can create a zinc deficiency also? or only a copper deficiency?
thank you so much for your input bro truly :D

>>38418737
Before note: I don't know the long term effects of a zinc overdose.

There is some evidence that over indulgence or lack thereof of micro nutrients can cause broad spectrum deficiencies.
Micros are a very finicky group, certain b vitamins, d, calcium for instance all need each other to function properly and not enough/too much can cause the whole group to be out of balance.
The problem with zinc abuse is mainly the copper though.
Copper deficiency causes anemia.
>headaches
>movement is harder
>no erections
>breathing is more difficult
Copper does a little more than promote immune function.
It's essential in the creation of red blood cells. Much as zinc is essential in the creation of sperm.
The conundrum we run into is, with less red blood cells less nutrients make it to the testicles anyways. Resulting in the possibility of a zinc deficiency.

Which regarding my first post, no one should ever supplement zinc.
You need zinc daily, but it is much better to eat an underwhelming amount of zinc (which as I said before is near impossible since zinc is found in the upper 95% of all food sources) than to ever go over.

>>38406823

Just to be clear you were supplementing 60mg of ELEMENTAL zinc or was the supplement itself 60mg. There is a huge difference. If this is just some 60mg of the zinc CITRATE or something then there is no way it was because of your supplement that you fucked yourself up, your just a genetic waste who was never meant to reproduce.

>>38407056

But anon, rat poison is a legit building supp!

>>38419005
i stated earlier, there was 15mg of zinc per tablet, i took that x4. amino chilate or w/e. uhm i dont think im genetically weak desu, i think i just over exposed my system to too much zinc brah, but that possibility did cross my mind

>>38418863
yea bro, im not sure if its just lack of copper, i think its perhaps lack of magnesium as well as lack of copper. im going to stare clear of zinc rich foods for the mean time though, until i get my self feeling balanced again. may i ask, how do you know so much about the way zinc works on the body? have you studied this profusely, or are you some sort of medical student?

>>38418863
>>38418863
also i had a wet dream recently only on 3rd day of no fap, could that be a good sign of sperm production being reved back up again?

>>38418522
Not like I saw a doc for bloodwork or anything but i've read.the wikipages about nutritional values of each, what foodstuffs contain them (don't eat much of them) and symptomes of deficiency.

Pretty much read like a combination cure for low energy and robotism, i'm ready to give it a try.

>>38418662
nah bro i understand the anxiety side of not getting erections and what not, but the erectile dysfunction is coupled with no/low sex drive. im 21 and before all this i would get erections throughout the day, and get an erection whenever i feel like. during this experience, it was like there was no blood there, and i would also find it difficult to piss, my urine stream was so weak. definitely not psychological, i can understand where you and the dr are coming from but there is so much i am going through that it is impossible for this to be psychological.

>>38406823
>I'm on 100mg zinc/day since January
>constant erections and thoughts about fuggin'
>can get diamond hard on command since April

I don't think the zinc is the problem for you.

>>38419842
so just because zinc works for u that means no one else will have adverse reactions to zinc?

>>38419314
Sounds like your prostate when you mention a weak piss stream

what it like being underdeveloped sexually and require all that zinc supplement?

Waste of money but supplements are okay for a fix if you need it.
I put more money on quality food now and try to vary my food intake to avoid carences (which I had a lot)
>Also I fell for the supplement meme
If I had to go back, I would rater hire escorts with the money I spend in sups.
I only take a 200mg pygeum pill once every week or so.

I also reduced my coffee consumption from a fuck LOT to nothing for almost a month and only drink one or two in the morning and none after lunch.

The only supplement you should take is a good quality (e.g organic/food based) multivitamin.

Don't go fucking around with individual minerals.

its only found in meaningful quantities in meats and random select vegetables and other items

it's not hard to be deficient if you eat no or little (like 1/4lb a day or less) meat

furthermore, even mild zinc overdose would result in serious nausea and probably vomiting or other digestive woes to go with it

Isn't more than 40mg of zinc meant to be slightly toxic?

>>38421578
idk brah, i heard of ppl taking 100-200mgs of zinc a day and they were fine, so i figured 60mgs would be fine too.

>>38406823
That is because 60mg a day is way, way, WAY too much lad.

Additionally so much zinc keeps your body from processing copper, which means you likely suffer from copper deficiency as well now.

OP you're fucking retarded

Genuinely should probably kill yourself by overdosing on zinc some more

>>38418737
>i stopped masterbating since to preserve all my minerals so i dont waste anymore
at this point I don't even want to help this guy anymore

>>38406823
I currently take 40 mgs of Zinc a day - is this too much?
(25 from zinc supplement and 15 from multi)

This obv doesnt include zinc found in mince that I eat etc..

>>38421630
ik im stupid but why so harsh?

>>38421647
why is that? you lose 1/3rd of ur zinc/copper when you ejaculate, doesnt it make sense to stop fapping? im just trying to fix my situation best i know how, please tell me why what i said is wrong bro

>>38421659
you dont need anymore than the zinc you get from multivitamins bro, if you aren't lacking in zinc then dont gamble with your health like me bro forreal, its not worth it. this shit is so not worth it, its a living nightmare. waking up suicidal and emotionally numb isnt fun and im not even exaggerating i wish i was

>>38421680
Really? I only started taking it because of the apparent increases in test.

Ever since I started I started getting morning wood back, 10/10 horny etc. Like i've been doing this for the past two months or so, and have noticed 0 negative effects.

Could I have been zinc deficient before?

>>38421698
to be honest bro, i really dont advise you not to take large doses of zinc from prolonged amounts of time, maybe 2 weeks on 2 weeks off etc but not for months on end like i did, you can shut down your absorption by doing that and will through you off balance like me. be careful with this shit, i know it seems harmless cause they sell this shit at supermarkets but when you go overboard it has some seriously negative effects, we're only young, we dont need to do all this bullshit to our selves bro come on

>>38421744
>i really dont advise you not
i mean, "i really dont advise you to take large doses*" excuse that double negative.

>>38421744
I'd go with with 50 mg every 3-4 days, you'll pre out what you're lacking and aren't risking side effects. Just eat healthy tbqh.

thank you for posting this brah.

im sure im suffering from it as well

muscle spasms. low ejac volume/spongedick

brainfog. and sleepless nights as well

this shit isnt permanent, right?

>>38407492
>10mg b6
>so i was taking all these x4

40 mg B6 daily for months CAN cause serious side effects in sensitive individuals and it's very likely

50 mg of zinc can't unless you have copper deficiency already, it will block your copper absorption but 2 months is not enough to cause any significant results

you have some very distinctive kind of mental retardation OP that's for sure

>>38422042
i had my blood work done for everything (EXCEPT zinc/copper/magnesium) cause apparently that is separate and it is normal to test those, so they say. and it came back with my B6 elevated

"B12: 849 pmol/L ( 170 - 600 )"

but i have read some guy complaining after 10 days of 40mgs of zinc he got the EXACT same side effects that i have, like textbook. so i do believe 2 months is plenty of time to fuck your self up

>>38406823
This is probably the third time I've seen this post in the last month, and the exact same words. I smell a conspiracy against zinc, probably Jews

>>38422073
>he got the EXACT same side effects that i have

because anxiety gives exact same side effects for most of us. You have pyridoxine (b6) induced anxiety. Drink lots of water and wait. Google progressive muscle relaxation and try it, it'll calm you down. Anxiety can last for months or years if you fuck up your brain, just like post traumatic stress disorder.

>>38421910
i dont think its permanent desu bro, ive been eating cashew nuts (high in copper) and dark chocolate 85% coco (source of magnesium) for maybe 10 days+ and everything seems to be returning to normal, however some days have been fluxuating, (not sure why) except the sponge dick part, i hope that part isnt fucking permanent bro, cause its weirding me out and it just doesnt feel right. did you get these symptoms from too much zinc too or something else? please share your story brah.

things remaining still are:
- muscle spasms
-facial twitching
-joints clicking
-hands going numb in the middle of the night (gotten much better though, used to be my entire forearm/hand)
-spongey flacid dick/less girthy but hangs lower than should
-constipation comes/goes/fluxuates.
-my sleep seems to be getting back to normal (sleep throughout an entire night) however my body clock is strange and makes me wake up at 9:00 AM every time no matter what time i sleep

>>38422090
who knows...

>>38422132
you just described neuropathy, which is very normal for someone with B6 poisoning, add anxiety and you have it nailed

>>38422105
this is not anxiety induced lol, i read he had the exact same side effects after i knew about mine. also google zinc/copper deficiency side effects, you will see that all the things i have listed are on it. its clear that its too much zinc that has caused this for me and for him, its not anxiety, i know my self and i know my mind, however anxiety levels have been increased but these symptoms are not indicative of anxiety;theyve been induced by a deficiency

>>38422170
flaccid dick is anxiety induced
other symptoms are normal for b6 overdose

maybe he have copper deficiency too, but it's very unlikely

>>38422150
ill list you ALL the symptoms i had before eating cashew nuts

-insomnia
-night sweats
-emotional numbness/depression

-zero motivation for life, (indifferent to everything, had no desires for anything)

-brain fog (couldnt retain new information, would forget things like crazy, couldnt think straight) also very dizzy/disoriented almost as if i was high

-lowered appetite
-constipated/easily upset stomach
-water retention (bloated face and take 2+ hours to be able to take a piss after drinking 1L bottle of water)
-heart palpatations
-testicular pain
-penis pain
-swollen testicle (only 1 swollen, other one seemingly normal size)
-non existent libido
-weak erections
-low volume/watery semen
-flacid penis softer/lighter/less dense
-joint pains/ limp wrists/limp knees/ hands numb/tingling sensations in forearms/fingers/hands

-lethargic as fuck (going to bed at 7pm every night , even though doing nothing all day) and then waking up still feeling tired.

most these side effects have gone away except for the sexual side effects that are slowly getting better.

>>38422208
no its not anxiety induced, the tissue of it is completely different, it is less dense/thinner/lighter. thats almost like me saying to u, "your muscles becoming flatter after not eating carbs for 2 weeks is anxiety induced". no it inst anxiety induced at all, i wish it was

>>38422226
also forgot to mention
-premature ejaculation
-orgasms feel 20% of what they once were
-exhaustion

>>38421910
Please let us know how you acquired these side effects

>>38421910
U leave brah?

I take source naturals 50 mg amino chelate zinc and it has some copper in it. On top of that I also take desiccated beef liver pills throughout the day for dem sweet beef amino acids and hema iron. Also magnesium at night. I feel fine. Git gud OP

>>38419952
So just because you think zinc caused the problems you had means that it did, and it will have the same effect on other people?

sounds like symptoms of low-dht

zinc is a 5-ar inhibitor which reduces dht

but i doubt its potent enough at 60mg to cause those symptoms

My first certifications and time spent at Uni was for a nutritionist oriented jobfield. I've since switched over to IT.
It's now just a really enthusiastic hobby. I enjoy reading and I enjoy problem solving.
So when i'm not working out or hanging with friends. I surf /fit/ and research problems people have to try and find citations on what's the best route for them to take involving their health.
The wet dream could be your sexuality coming back to you, so yeah i'd consider that good.

>>38421390
That still goes back to my original point.
The only people who may have an issue are vegetarians and even that is rare.
A single egg has 18% of your daily zinc needs.
Zinc is also one of the few micros that if you are on a slight deficit will not show negatives in the body for months.
It's main function is Protein synthesis and DNA replication (mainly sperm) since sperm take so long to produce anyways you could be deficient for upwards of 2 months.
2 months is a long time and I'm sure at some point during it you would of eaten the appropriate levels for your body quite a few times.

>>38407433
you fucking retard

>>38421910
What causes low ejac volume? I've actually noticed I don't shoot that watery goodness anymore. It comes out as... globs...
