The Importance of Zinc in Bodybuilding Nutrition

The missing Zinc

By Lee Milligan Jr



When it comes to maximizing your strength and muscle building potential, then Zinc is of paramount importance in that respect. You see Zinc is nessesary for Vitamin A to be properly transported from the liver. Zinc is also responsible for protein synthesis, RNA, and DNA synthesis and is a primary potentiator for Testosterone production. Zinc inhibits levels of aromatase throughout the body so that natural Testosterone levels will remain high. Zinc also stimulates the Pituitary Gland to release Luteinizing Hormone which in turn causes the Testes to produce Testosterone. The best supplement we have found so far is from a Company called Nature's Life which is Zinc Picolinate in a 30mg strength. The RDA is set at 15mg per day but for Weight and Strength Trainers using a high protein diet, a good start would be 30mg per day. Zinc is one of the most important Minerals nessesary for Bodybuilding fitness and health. Please remember to always consult with your Doctor before starting any new supplement and training program.

i ordered some normal zinc tablets, from a vitamin shop online there 15mg each, would they do the same?

[Leemil9]

As long as they are Amino Acid chelated your doing good. Remember that with every 15mg of zinc you take in, make sure you take 1mg of the mineral copper also.

[frisbyrb5]

thanks for the reply, ive been taking for about a week, so far. they just say zinc citrate 15mg on the package. ive noticed im having deep sleeps latley, and really vivd dreams, also noticed down the gym, normally do 3 reps of 100kg on the bench, done 9 yesterday, dont know if there linked. what does the copper do?

[Leemil9]

Sounds like a good type to use. Always good to use an amino acid chelated type for best results. If you goto my homepage click on the videos and select the Importance of Copper in Bodybuilding Nutrition for info on Copper. I wish you well with your nutritional goals.

[Leemil9]

Copper contributes significantly to the conversion and metabolism of Cholesterol into Testosterone. Copper contributes also to protein synthesis and muscle tissue repair. Copper is also helpful in keeping your immune system strong to help counter balance the stressed induced microtrauma from weight training. Copper is nessesary in the synthesis of red and white blood cells. Copper also aids in the absorption of Iron and helping to release stored Iron from the Liver. The RDA is set at 2mg.

does zma work???

[Leemil9]

Never tried ZMA so I can't really say either way. But I have tried Zinc Monomethionate or Opti-zinc. This is the type of amino acid bound Zinc that is in ZMA. I used the Zinc Monomethionate by itself and had sleeping problems. I believe that the Monomethionate amino acid produces excititory neurotransmitters which can inadvertently affect sleep so I discontinued its use.

I am going to try an Arginine bound type to see what happends. Lee

@Joe13

Yeah.. That program offered by the site

MusclesMaximizer.info

delivers an in-target program for the too

skinny. It emphasizes a total-body balanced

approach. I was once a skinny guy here and

the program transformed my body to a fitness

model champion in just a short weeks.:))))))

I take 50 mg because I have zinc deficiency.No results in a month all the symphtons remain.Man said the same and tried 100 mg and it worked for him so I try that too.

@ReeferBuddy i only recently found out that 100 mg can make some people feel very sick, it even happened to me a few days ago, so i only take 25 mg to 50 mg now. it only makes you sick sometimes, but its not worth the gamble, just eat lower doses

[ReeferBuddy]

@kibainusuka i did and i felt very bad the same day...was that the same side effect u had?

[kibainusuka]

try eating 100mg on a emty stomach and you will know!

[L0ngrun]

I take 50mg because of my skin,but also do training.

do you need to take Zinc pills only for body building? or can you also just take them for the sake of replenishing your testosterone...
