What people say about Zinc and performance
“I tried so many things – L-Arginine, Citrulline, Zinc, Omega-3s, training, clean diet. Some things helped a bit, but nothing really fixed it.”
“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.”
