Zinc works amazing, soreness goes away in half time

[Patrick82]

I have had tendon injury for 2 and half years, it had not got any better at all. But then I started taking 30mg zinc and it has healed a lot in a month! I also noticed that I recover faster. Before I was sore almost a week and needed 1 month rest to progress in every lift. But now with Zinc my soreness goes away in half the time, does this mean I need only 2 weeks rest instead of 4 weeks? Or still 4 weeks minus a few days?

Needs more glutamine.

I had ordered glutamine a year ago, but I canceled the order because someone said it doesn't work. So should I order glutamine today?

Although most of know how essential Zinc is, especially for men, it's probably doing nothing for your recovery.

My wife said that her soreness went away quicker too. It works amazing.

Everybody is a little different. Some supps work/worked great for me while others said they didn't for them. You know your body best. Ever try a ZMA supp? Check it out.

I'm already using ZMA. The instructions says to take 2 tablets before going to bed, then I can't fall asleep. I can only take one tablet of it. During the day I take 30 mg zinc tablet, and other supplements to get a total of 50 mg zinc per day. Vitamin C is important too. My recovery times have dramatically reduced.

Zinc made me tired so I reduced my zinc intake from 50-60 mg to 10-20 mg. My recovery time got longer and I stopped progressing in some exercises. My tendon injury also came back, I have had this injury 2 and half years. When I started with zinc, injury went away, and now it came back when I stopped with zinc.
When I was on 50 mg zinc. I went from 16 kg to 40 kg pistol squats in a month. And from 20 kg to 32 kg in shoulder presses, now I can't lift the 32 kg anymore, got weaker.

I think it's from zinc, I see no other explanation. I will go back on 50 mg dose.
