anyone?

hi guys

so i have been trying to lower my testesterone levels by vegan diet,bc pill,eating flaxseed tofu organic soy beans exc.

but recently i have heard that supplementing with zinc can increase testesterone in women?

is it true because i have been taking 44 mg daily (Solgar) and if its true i might cut it off.

Thanks

I don't think that's necessarily true. Especially 44 grams of it.

Personally, I would cut out the flaxseed, tofu, and soybeans....they can be estrogenic, and excess estrogen can convert to more testosterone.

thanks so what do you suggest about lowering testesterone?

are you male or female?

Personally, I had success with inositol and DIM.....saw palmetto would be the most popular choice, but for me it didn't work.

B5 can also lower testosterone but I never tried it in large doses to see if that would be effective

anyone?

The data is inconclusive. I have seen some studies showing it increases testosterone, others showing it lowers it, others showing to have no effect. As far as I can tell it's a very personalized response that depends on the individual.

I don't think zinc is all that effective for acne in majority of cases. It's also kind of hard to be deficient in zinc in the first place.
