What people say about Zinc and libido
“If I miss a few days I notice I will start to become weepy and lethargic. It also helps me focus and with brain fog.”
“I 100% notice an improvement with my restless leg syndrome... But mood wise, I think it's more placebo.”
“Zinc before bed has been a staple of mine for years. It certainly increases my mood and libido, if not ever so slightly. I sleep much better with it, as well.”
“Helped sleep and gave a short boost in libido when I started.”
