Zinc
Healthy testosterone function · Mineral foundation · Male reproductive physiology
15 mg elemental
Part of RECOVERY / PM, taken at night.
Form, dose and role.
- What it is
- Zinc is an essential trace mineral required for normal immune function, cell division and normal male reproductive physiology.
- Why DEXO chose it
- Zinc is involved in normal testosterone metabolism, reproductive function and immune health, giving RECOVERY a direct nutritional connection to healthy male hormonal function.
- Why this form
- Chelated zinc (elemental amount disclosed). A chelated form with the elemental amount disclosed, balanced with copper.
- Why this dose
- 15 mg elemental supports adequacy without pushing into the high-dose territory that can interfere with copper status.
- Its role in the system
- The story is nutritional sufficiency. Controlled human research found that dietary zinc restriction was associated with a substantial fall in serum testosterone, and repletion in marginally deficient older men was associated with higher testosterone. That is not the same as more zinc raising testosterone when status is already adequate.
