Zinc supplement makes me horny

Yes, I took Zinc for a short amount of time and experienced the same thing.

 

Not really a side effect, cause zinc increases free testosterone in the body. This is where the idea of shellfish as an aphrodisiac comes from - cause they contain zinc.

 

Might make it harder to cope with urges, be wary!

 

So severe? I doubt a natural mineral supplement will cause a relapse. I'd love to try anything to get stronger erections again.

 

Well I never tried it myself, but OP said it made him horny. If you already struggle with urges it might make it harder.

 

Zinc is natural and should be balanced with copper ~ 50 mg zinc to 2 mg of copper to not cause aneurism. I used to avoid it but everytime you ejaculate, you loose some of it and should replenish yourself for health purposes. It's in men's multiple vitamins too. It's responsible for many processes in body. I was king of food and supplement avoidance to try to avert getting horny. But getting horny is one sign of being a healthy man. I stopped avoiding foods and supplements that make me horny after realizing testosterone is a vital part of a man's health overall and not just reproductive. Accepting that when God made me a man, horniness is a part of it helps me better deal with/accept that part of myself, even though being horny can cause issues if not managed properly. It's ok to have two heads. Just the one on the neck should be in control of one below belt. Easier said than done. My two heads argue a lot. And sometimes the one closer to the ground has won- a lot of times, even to point of hijacking the one on my shoulders. It's a matter of discipline I believe. But zinc is good and essential for us men. I don't think some extra will hurt us in this estrogen laced world we live in.

 

Yes I take zinc and I wouldn’t say it makes me any hornier, but it has improved the ‘quality’ of my erections. And it’s definitely made my loads a lot bigger.

 

You lost me at this point. What? :

 

It's ok to be sexually driven and motivated (head 1) but do so responsibly and non-destructively(head 2). Example of balance between the 2 heads: I am horny as hell and have an insatiable sex drive. So let me find a wife for companionship and sexual release and start a family and add to the population. Bill Gates of Hell won't like this. The Eugenist population control maniac. But does this explanation help?

 

Ok thanks.

 

I take zinc supplements midday with meals, not at night. I never had this problem. And, I take other supplements, too. Is zinc the only supplement you take?

 

I take 50 mg from zinc citrate

 

Interesting!

 

For me its Ginger Root.

 

I’ve been taking high quality liquid zinc sulfate daily for pretty much 5 years now. It’s essential for immune function, and part of the reason ejaculation is harmful is because we lose precious zinc stores. In fact.. most men aren’t getting enough zinc because it’s depleted in most foods due to copper based pesticides interacting with zinc in the soil where crops are grown. Coupled with not eating enough earth grown foods to begin with. And.. most men are pretty horny. So, no I don’t think zinc makes you horny.
