A year ago, my bloodtest revealed that I am didn't have enough Zinc in my system. It's supposed to be from 12-25. Mine was 11. My testosteron was about 20. I started to take Zinc, 30mg a day and next bloodtest showed testo 22 and zinc 16. I started taking 60 mg zinc a day for a few months. I got the result today of a third bloodtest where my testo is 29, which is very high. My estrodil was 62 (it's supposed to be between 28-156). The thing is I read that Zinc deficiency can cause excess DHT. Zinc inhibits the activity of 5-alpha-reductase. Zinc is therefor supposed to be an DHT inhabitor, as well as estrogen inhabitor : http://calosol.com/zinc.php
Is that true? Could this be the reason for my early male pattern baldness even though there is no family history of male pattern baldness? What should I do now? Continue to take Zinc or what. I have read here many times that too much testo meant too much DHT?? Please help.
