ZMA probably won't benefit anyone at all if they get enough zinc in their diet.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hello - Isn't there also some evidence that too much zinc in diet actually can inhibit testosterone production? I've heard, for example, they give zinc supplements to push teen males over the limit to help moderate their acne - dermatologists believing they could slow such things down using zinc. Why then would males not deficient in zinc believe this supplement would enhance testosterone production? Could you detail this part of the myth, in particular the zinc connection to testosterone production/inhibition? And thank you for this note to begin with, I thought that the mere fact BALCO used this to fig leaf their real purpose would have sunk this supplement long ago but there's so much MONEY to be made people seem to overlook the reasonable? Do you have a website you can list out that busts the bodybuilding and other supplements as they become more researched independently? It appears the world is awash in misused studies such as the one which was misquoted to found this particular supplement - and how is the athlete to keep abreast of such things? I look forward to reading your responses - The Phantom aka Schaefer, CMT, CSCS, competing powerlifter Denver, Colorado, USA ZMA > ********************** > Posted by: " jjfamilyof10 " <http://profiles.yahoo.com/jjfamilyof10> > > This is just a mineral sup.
