I've been bulking for about a month now. I'm 19, 200lbs i get 200 grams of protein everyday, I'm also taking compound 20 and zma. Lately I've noticed a decrease in sex drive, I don't think I could have low test levels due to my age. But is that a possibility?
 
There's a possibility at any age.

What's compound 20? Is it hormonal at all?

Stress, anxiety, overtraining, poor diet, less than adequate sleep, many many things can lower sex drive.
 
I could be your diet... but if your bulking I doubt that. I recommend you have a look at some tropinol xp from iForce. it gets me all horned up.
 
You could just be tired. Do you feel that you're overtraining? Are you losing intensity at the gym? When was your last de-load week? Not saying it can affect your sex drive, but if your CNS is bit whacked from training then you could just be fatigued. I wouldn't turn to supps as a bandaid just yet. Also, are you getting enough rest at night? How about your Vitamin D intake? These are all factors that can affect your sex drive.
 
Yea, there's really a multitude of reasons there could be for this and I wouldn't look at supps first for it. I agree with the above, if you burn yourself out you will definitely notice a dip in sex drive. Sleep is big, how about your relationship/mental state?
 
The list could go on and on. For me it is typically just stress related with work and school both full time plus clients on the side. I add Intimidate and Tropinol and I am pretty horned up for the lady.

How much/what kind of ZMA are you dosing and why? How long have you been having the issues (before or after starting to supplement it)?

ZMA should be helping you sleep deeper, but it doesn't work that way for everyone and can give some night terrors.
