Zinc can help man boobs

[mickol717]

Recently I read on the internet that Zinc can boosts your testosterone level which can balance out more of the estrogen.
Bio-Health Extra Zinc+ (60 Capsules) I have purchased these capsules and been taking them for 15 days
Until this evening I read that Zinc converts testosterone into estrogen and I was like wtf , I thought it is suppose to help boosting testosterone but then why does it convert back to estrogen.

I am 16 and about 67-69 kg bf% about 12
Man boobs are not that bad but just the nipples sticking out
I really want to developed more on my chest.
So yeah thank you and please help

if you think you have gyno starting ask your doctor to check your hormone levels, he can give you an estrogen blocker to get your swelling down. if at your age your hormones are that out of wack no zinc tab is gonna help you.

You're going through puberty. This happens.

Before believing everything you read on the internet you have to consider the source and how it applies to you individually. In this case being 16 and assuming you are not Zinc deficient it doesn't.

This. Zinc isn't going to do much as an AI anyway.

Not sure about Zinc boosting T levels but it could be true. It's really a good supplement to take anyways has its benefits. I think you should also consider taking ZMA as well and DAA. Both of these help out overall also.

OP if you're really worried go to a doctor. Don't start taking test boosters and other supplements trying to fix a "problem", when you don't even know what the "problem" is. When going through puberty it's pretty common for nipples to get sore/puffy.

Zinc only boosts if you are deficient in it. If you eat a good diet, you most likely are not.

Why are you recommending a 16 year old take DAA?

[emergency]

at your 16 your body is still changing if you are worried about it talk to your parents about setting you up a doctor appt.

lol I don't even ask questions anymore.

I was honestly hoping for some cracked out logic behind the suggestion lol.

ZMA won't help you with man boobs or gyno. It may however help you sleep very well and boost your immune system.

No way you can get 50mg/day with your diet unless you eat oysters everyday...

Zinc is one of the most awesome Supplements for men and I can tell you Ive tried more than 25 different supps...

Basically it has strong anti-aromatase properties so it should reduce man boobs. Zinc gives ultimate boner improvements, you will be a sex predator at times. Also it improves your sleep by miles. Suggest to take it at night after dinner.

Post the studies that confirm any of this in healthy, non deficient individuals.

Excuse my Ignorance what is an AI

So the best I can do right now is to get some estrogen blockers and stay intensive on chest day. Like I started doing 6 sets of 6 reps of bench press then move on to decline to build more mass and I would also consume the zinc pills just to see if it works I guess

Or not get "estrogen blockers"

Zinc deficiency does royally screw over you in so many more ways than just your test levels. Charles Poliquin claims very very few of his athletes come back with blood work that suggest sufficient levels of zinc. That being said, at 16 you should really just focus on eating healthier and not supplement excess vitamins/minerals, especially if you don't even know where you currently stand. Also, if you want a more developed chest do more chest work.
