I used to take a multivitamins, not overdosed, mostly 100% of the recommended daily dose of everything, including copper, zinc etc... (mini-multi by Carlson’s if you wonder).
I hadn’t been feeling well overall for a few months, so I decided to completely cut it off:
My libido is back and hard ons are harder than ever, I’m mentally a LOT more chilled and it helps me in social interactions, I sleep better too.
So it seems that something (or a few things) in this multivitamins were hindering my wellbeing.
My hypothesis is that zinc had been accumulating over time in tissues and had knocked DHT out:
Inhibition of 5 alpha-reductase activity in human skin by zinc and azelaic acid. - PubMed - NCBI
The effect of zinc on the 5 alpha-reduction of testosterone by the hyperplastic human prostate gland. - PubMed - NCBI
I’m not sure if I have identified the real cuplrit, if it’s the case I wouldn’t want to miss out on other essential vitamins by quiting the multi altogether.
Is a B complex ok to take on a daily basis?
