Zinc on-cycle?

[EBSNW1]

Hey everyone,

I am currently planning my PH cycle, and I was wondering whether the supplementation of zinc is advised. I was planning on dosing at 100mg per day on-cycle, however, since zinc acts as a natural aromatase inhibitor thereby hindering the conversion of testosterone to estrogen, I was thinking that it might limit gains due to reduced estrogen.

Any thoughts?

Why are you dosing zinc that high?? That's going to deplete your copper, and if you are worried about aromatization, then no zinc is not nearly good enough, I highly doubt it would help at all. You need an AI if you are worried about aromatization.

No, I think you misunderstood. I am worried that the decreased estrogen will limit the gains that I get on-cycle, because I recently read that estrogen is also important for gains. I am not worried about aromatization.

Thats way too high IMO, it may block anabolism, a dose of 35 mgs dly is adequate, much over that and it could compromise your immune system.

Ok, I'll dose around 35mg. Would that be a limiting factor for size gains or is it ok to dose like that on-cycle?

Not at all, men need zinc its good for test production and keeping the prostate small. JMO
