Zinc as an AI??!!

[Alphatier]

So a buddy of mine recently told me that he uses Zinc as an AI. Does it really inhibt aromatization?

What do you guys have to say about that?

It's funny you say this. At a local supplement store, there is this guy who swears up and down that you need to take an excess amount of Zinc on cycle to keek your gains because your body runs low on it or something. Not one person can clarify that I have found nothing in the research. They are dirt cheap and it cannot really hurt anything, but I wouldn't bother.

"Side Effects of Zinc Supplement
The danger of taking zinc supplements can be summarized in two words: zinc overdose. A zinc dose of 40 milligrams is approved safe to use by FDA and a zinc dosage more than this can pose certain risks. In terms of zinc toxicity, there is no other way to put it: excess zinc is dangerous! This is primarily true because too much zinc will likely interfere with the metabolism and absorption of other essential minerals in your body, most especially iron, magnesium and copper. Zinc side effects can become potentially serious if you take doses from 150 to 450 mg a day. Taking this much can decrease your copper, iron and magnesium levels, reduce your body's immune function, and reduce your HDL (good cholesterol) level."
