Zinc is essential for production of testosterone, therefore it probably increase DHT too for normal people with non-messed endocrinology. However, I’m fairly sure it also acts as a enzyme-antagonist for both 5ar-1 and -2 types, that are responsible for converting T to DHT.

Goodnights sleep

STRENGTH training. 95% of 1 repp max for 5 reps three sets is an example. Exercise incorporating all body muscles at high intensities and not volume. explosiveness over fatigue. fatigue oriented workout till exhaustion will wreck your hormonal profile, increasing cortisol ( will result in lean muscle gain and fat loss. both increase testosterone and DHT).

Avoiding DHT and 5ar reducing foods and supplements( look at your multivitamin ingredients also)

Screaming and dancing to tribal music helps unleash the inner man.

don’t exceed 50mg zinc a day. Stick to 20mg from food if possible. Avoid phytic acid foods to prevent unavailability of minerals.

Psychological- if it applies to you- try making sexual associations to humans instead of pornographic material and mentally accept yourself and work towards a healthier life slowly and positively. Mental barriers can be as strongly debilitating as physical ones

Supplements- Try SHILAJIT. It will bring your libido back, if there are nutritional deficiencies.

P.S- try reading books on how to optimize tesosterone to get an insight on how this hormone works. Sex is a primal characteristic of animals. Tap into the primal man within and unleash the beast!

Hi Luis, can you elaborate on the reasons for your opinion?

Try cycling l tyrosine, sorghum,
Or you could try cycling herbs aka: cd nuts protocol ,

I understand that taking Cialis or Viagra temporarily cures these symptoms, but that seems to avoid the actual issue at hand, what the way that I can actually get my drive back to where it was before? Its been 7 months since I stopped taking the medication and there seems to be little change whatsoever, in fact my penis literally is shrinking. If anyone out there knows what to do please let me know.

Things I’ve tried :
– Extreme workouts to exhaustion
– Both 5:2 diet and 16 hour intermittent fasting diet with only protein, vegetables and fruit
– Grape seed extract
– Zinc with every meal
– Vitamin D
– Heavy doses of Arginine

Nothing from the above seems to have had any effect, not sure how I can kickstart the function of 5a reductace so I can get back to my base-level male again. As you can imagine, my entire identity has been crushed by this new reality. Extremely interested in any ideas anyone might have, your help here would be unbelievably appreciated.

Thank you

Green tea inhibits 5ar = blocks Dht

Hi. Where do you’ve got this vegan produce slightly less testosterone info from? Studies have shown that vegans have about 7% more overall testosterone but they have about 23% less free testosterone. But as far as i know it’s not just about how much testosterone someone produces. It’s about how much you convert into dht or how your hair follicles react to it. Theres something like an autoimmune reaction where your hair follicles react to dht . so if this reaction is very strong in your body your testosterone/dht levels don’t have to be abnormally high.

Good thing the vegan diet worked for you though :) i’m vegan (1 1/2 years) but i still lose hair :/ (i also drink green tea, eat tumeric and soy sometimes)
