Could zinc have the fault?

[Leandro155]

Hi to everyone this is like an introduction to me and i'ts been 6 years since
this downward spiral begun but I'm not ranting I just wanna know if I'm not crazy about
what happenned to me so if somebody could give me some insight it would be great.

So I used to be a normal guy with a little overweight that just wanted to loose a little
more weight and after researching a while I found out that zinc was the solution and I
began taking it. And at the beggining it was cool. I event felt more confident. But then
after some time was like my whole personality started to change and I begun to feel a lot
of anxiety also I became very aggressive with people around me. A lot of relationships were
broken and i spend 3 years feeling like that. Until I stopped taking zinc cause I didn't have
money at that time to spend on supplementation but rather on other more relevant stuff
related to my career.

I noticed I felt a little better but still not my best, nor who I used to be so that's when I
started taking Testosterone just to experiment and I felt good a few days then again like
my miserable self but at least I could control that upping my shot schedule and my dose.

Few days ago I was worried about Aromatization and didn't wanted to look that bloated so
I though that instead of taking an AI I could just go and take zinc. Cause I couldn't hurt huh?
Wrong, it made me feel miserable again.

Researching againg I found out that copper could lower zinc levels so I began taking it.
I felt fine whitin second. But, my hair started to shed a little so again worried about it I
took a little zinc just to balance it a little but again zinc brought up the worst oof me

I became socially awkward during this years I los my GF, my friends and all i got is
just my familly I workout regularly but I haven't been able to loose those last pounds.
It's very frustating cause I also developed hipoglicemia wich seems to fade away when
I take copper. But copper is not the ultimate solution cause it has it's problems and it
is that I become vey outgoing but I can't seem to be able to talk in a coherent way since
is like I feel outgoing but at the same time nervous. Im hopping that I could find a solution
to this maybe it was excess zinc but I'm not sure cause all I could find about the subject
is about defiency of this mineral but nothing about what happened to me.

You need to go have a vitamin and mineral panel done by your doctor.

Second I don't know your diet, but if you aren't losing weight you need to re evaluate this part of it.

Taking supplements are good and all, but you diet needs to be priority, not a quick fix from zinc and copper

My weight is not a big deal here but rather my well being bro.

Don't over do it with zinc. I believe 50mg is the max and it's zinc picolinate that is the most effective type. When I was reading about zinc I read about one lowering the other or something like that. I decided to just use the cooper in my mens formula multi vitamin.... Bottom line is don't over due it with vitamins and minerals.

Would this be related to estradiol?

Well considering you mentioned you wanted to lose the last bit of weight 2 times in your post, it appeared it is a big deal.

Second, your diet affects your mood. If you are out eating cheese burgers, no fruits, no veggies then what are you expecting to feel like? So yes, diet has everything to do with both the weight loss for that last bit and for your general well being.


Regardless, you need to get a vitamin and mineral panel done to even know what is going on.

What are you expecting people to tell you? Or information to gather from here? We aren't doctors and telling you to add this or add that is simply reckless, you are obviously in such a mental state you are coming here for us to tell you what you want to hear, and I'm not attacking you, but you need to go to a doctor not a forum for help. You have already played the guessing game on minerals and see where that got you?

Again, go get a panel done and know for sure what your minerals and vitamins look like inside your body.

Again, how could we answer this? You don't have blood work to know. If you are on testosterone you need to get blood work anyways for your safety to ensure blood looks good, then you would also be able to know if your estrogen is high.

I guess it is true.
