Can Zinc Treat Low Testosterone? – Healthline
Testosterone plays a key role in libido (sex drive) in men. Some men believe that taking a testosterone supplement will improve their libido, but this is not necessarily the case.
A recent study on zinc and testosterone levels found that men with lowered testosterone levels had a decrease in sexual desire when their zinc levels were restored to normal. That said, there’s no evidence of benefit for those with normal or high testosterone levels.
Study results indicate that there is a connection between low testosterone levels and sexual dysfunction, but it’s not clear whether supplementation will help.
One study examined the effects of taking a zinc supplement daily. It found that men who received 30 milligrams of zinc per day showed increased levels of free testosterone in their bodies. Using a supplement may not be necessary. Another study demonstrated that using a zinc supplement won’t raise your testosterone levels if you’re already getting enough of the mineral.
